The big Fiddy Cal is also good for clearing out the sinuses :)
If anyone is near Warracknabeal Vic on Saturday Oct 7th drop by the range as there's a 1000yd FCSA competition on and there'll be plenty of 50BMG's in use. It may be possible to shoot the club rifle if you want to experience the joy for yourself. I'll be competing in both the "Hunter" & "Unlimited" classes using the DTA Flinchmaster and the BR50.

Yeah 50s are as cool as, but that video not so sure, doesn't really look like 350 lbs, notice after the fact it looks like its front leg is sitting pretty strange for where it was hit ? & as for no hearing protection...... but wait it is just a video afterall, editing is pretty easy .....

The projectiles are so hard they go straight through everything with very little damage apart from a 510 plus hole right through, animals usually run a fair way unless decent bone is hit. :oops:

I have some fancy 327 grain 510 Lehigh projectiles waiting in customs at the moment, I'm thinking they will be a little different :)

What are you using the 327gr projectiles in? Very light for a 50BMG but with a faster powder could be a lot of fun :)
