Here are some pics taken from video that show the progression of the blast/flame from the brake of a 50BMG rifle. They are still frames captured from video (posted below), but they are not from the same shot.








Here is the video

The recoil is not bad. The gun weighs about 36lb and the brake is effective. With a good position the target is still in the sight picture after the shot.

Dave,

Welcome to AR!

What did the 10 shot group look like? And what distance where you shooting at?

Thanks

Thanks,

The group wasnt so good, about 5" @ 300yd. The load was a 750gr solid with 230gr of VV 20n29, which is way too slow for that projectile. It gives a great flash (which is what I was going after) but the velocity spread is about 150 fps.

My match load is either my 750gr bronze solid w/236gr of H50BMG or a 750 Amax w/218gr of H50BMG. Either will group 1.5" to 2.5" @ 300yd and 6" to 10" @ 1000yd, and no flash.

Dave

I had an 18 inch barrel 50 BMG. It was a Ferret called "Thumper" and the recoil was not bad at all, my 870 with 3 inch slugs was worse in felt recoil. The muzzle break takes a lot of the felt recoil out as well as the weight of the barrel. If I had a place to shoot it, I would still have one. Dave you make a great product.


If you're going to make a hole, make it a big one.
