Yes,but where do you buy your reloading component .
Powder and primers are the same between the two, and I have found .500 bullets at Epps, Higginsons, and WSS. The difference being .500 bullets cost around a dollar per, and the the 44 bullets cost about 30 cents.
Cases last well, and are also not too hard to come by. Indeed I think there are some on the EE right now.
I bought my 50 DE some ten years ago, and have never regretted it.
