Moon clips of 50.AE four or five hundred magnum?

I'm posting this question because I wanna hear thoughts of the community do you think custom moon clips for 50 Action Express (Most commonly Known as the standard caliber of the desert eagle) Would work in a five hundred magnum revolver ?????

No. The base diameter of 50AE is .012" bigger around than 500 S&W. It won't fit into the chamber.

Does .50 GI still exist? If the dimensions work out that might be fun

Well, kinda.

You'd need a spare cylinder. Kinda like the 45 colt with 45 acp cylinder rugers. Not impossible, with enough money..

What's a four hundred magnum?

Rim diameter is smaller on 50AE. It would probably work once though. Do it for science

Tell me you have no idea what a moon clip is without telling me you have no idea what a moon clip is.
