yeah Like 5.56

I was thinking more like 7.62 with some powder behind it

 

[hotfarmboy1]

Hey I was kind-- I used .223.

Very nice range review of Chuck's gun!

I think that's torture... just get it over with, use something heavier

I will agree here, heavier bullets work better! That's why I just bought some 190 gr. to load for my 30/06

Oh you were being serious. Well hell just break out the .50BMG and turn him into bunny goo.

That I want to see

there will be no bunny left to see after the first shot.

I load mine (.300 Win Mag) with a 185 grain Lapua Moly Scenar that I get to move right about at 3,000 FPS

I know a .50 can do some damage to anything within 5 or so feet, but aren't you giving yourself a lot of credit here?

I would if I had one... I'd even take a 50 BMG prairie dog hunting if I could

Indy Trading Post has two on consignment. I think they're around $3500 a piece.

It'd have to an M82A1... If I'm getting a .50 I'm going big or going home

now were talking.

I think don's has one for around $10,000

I didn't say I was shooting it I just said to use one.

No way Don's has one THAT cheap... figured it'd have to be at least $25,000 there with his mark ups. Plus it would have to have some gold (gode) somewhere

Very nice! I haven't stepped up to Lapua bullets quite yet. I'm currently starting out trying to see what will work best first in my rifles. I've got some loads that Azerigan worked up for me using 175 gr SMK , then I bought some 168 gr Berger hunting VLD match to use for varmint rounds, I still plan to get some 180 gr VLD match as well, and also just bought the Speer 190 gr BTHP match to try out as well. Powder I've picked Varget to try so far, just need to pick a couple more and I'll be good to start.

 

[OneBadV8]

is it Gode, Goad... How is that spelled?

retail on on the Barrett M82A1 in .50BMG is only $8,900

http://www.barrett.net/pdfs/Price-List.pdf

that would make don's $1,100 over MSRP.

FYI that is no optics or bi-pod just the rifle itself.

Edit* does come with bipod and hardcase. But no glass for that price.

I've had the most consistency with IMR powders. The one I currently use produces good results with lower chamber pressures than most. I'm not sure what kind of velocities you're getting, but usually a bit slower on the heavier ones will make it more consistent and make your barrel last longer. Its easy to adjust for drop, so I have no issues with slowing mine down.

Yeah, but he sells glocks for like $700... so that would make the barret around $1300 or so?
