That is a big bore.
And a big pic.
How long is that barrel?
Have you shot it yet?

Hi Urodoji,
That is one hell of an awesome looking big bore. Are you looking to enter some of the 50 cal match shoots with it? A fellow sent me a picture of his 50 cal Browning being shot at late dusk and the photo was to say the least impressive.
Take care and have fun with it,
Dave

You set up for reloading yet? I have been reloading for my .50 now for only about 2 months. www.vmhytech.com VM-50 rifle. So far factory "talon" ammo went 2 inches at 200 yards and ave. 2779 fps. Not bad for a 710 grain bullet out of 36 inch barrel.

My first reloads

710 grain AP bullet
WC872 200 grains
LC-87 brass
CCI-35 primers

they only go 2505 fps but shoot great. 1 inch and under at 200 yards. Plus I was able to bust rocks at 700 yards. I am sure with a A-max or Barnes bullet it will shoot even better. I will be able to play with my toy as is gets cooler here in Arizona.

hope this helps

That's a beauty, for sure. I have yet to shoot one.

I'd like to shoot at the matches in Alliance, NE with it. I haven't started loading yet, but I've got access to a fair quantity of some decent ammo. Barrel breakin starts this week. I have loading components for about 1000 rounds, but I'll have to get some AMAX bullets to experiment with.
