Hi,

I'm looking to buy a DEagle .50 and I seems that it's impossible to use lead cast boolits. Is it true?

Thanks,

Its not a good idea. Polygonal rifling isn't very good with lead & if the gas port gets plugged with lead it'll be a $400 fix ( new barrel) .. better to stick to jacketed or even plated like I use for my 50.
