The video mentions something about shooting at steel. If it were thick enough and the angle was right, I guess that would explain it.

I expect to get one more of those orders and begin getting a few recipes for a reloading exercise going sometime before the end of the year...

Yeah, I knew it was going to be expensive, but really, it is not that bad if you study the whole picture, see what you want to do, be flexible on a few items, and it soon comes together into a nice system that will outlast you...
YOU BOUGHT "COP-KILLER" BULLETS!?!?!?!?!? Just kidding. :mrgreen:

You know, for guys like me that reload .308 and .223, you have to reload for a long darn time (or a whole heck of a lot of rounds) before you see the investment in the equipment overcome by the savings on the ammo. But I'll bet you can get there pretty quick with a .50 BMG..... ....if your shoulder holds up! "rlol"

It's been posted many times before, but just for review:

TomC told me you were. I regret not going. My wife and I had a date, just the two of us, that night.

Man, I just realized...I gotta go buy some ammo for this artillery piece!!! :anamatedbanana

Anyone had any experience with the "Bitterroot" ammo??? a box of 150 at $400 and change looks like a good general round for just everyday purposes...

TheArmsRoom down in League City is selling the top end Hornaday stuff for $70 for 10 rounds...

Decisions, decisions... :evil2:
A .50 BMG for just everyday purposes? :smilelol5: You're killing me! ....can I come along? :mrgreen:

So Stevie, you've fessed up to the caliber, but not to the make and model. Inquiring minds WANT to know. :mrgreen:
