I only wish I had a .50 cal!
You and me both. At least you live somewhere where you could actually fire one of those without having every SWAT team in a 25 mile radius dispatched.
On the other hand, don't those .50 BMG rounds sell for a couple bucks each?
Wonder how easy it would be to reload for that.........
A bit more powder than the 4 grains of Bullseye I use in my .45 acp loads, I suspect.
Here's a Barrett M82A1 .50 CAL price tag of $7775.

Wow that's $3-$4 a round. I'd be chasing after those bullets at that price.
