.50 BMG improved cartridges
How many .50 BMG IMPROVED cartridges have been done??? In what calibers??? I mean .50 BMG wildcas.??? I am sure that if there is a .338 or .300 BMG IMPROVED it will have a good velocity.

Thanks!

State Arms developed a .375-50 BMG Mach 5 that they advertised as performing 3500-5300 fps with a 300 grain, .375 caliber bullet. Gee, a .338 version launching a 300 grain Matchking at 5300 fps would almost obtain a stable ORBIT!!! [Eek!] [Big Grin]
