You just have to look around and remember that they haven't been made in the last 40 years.
Keep an eye out for someone selling the ones that they have. I doubt there are any more that are being demilled. |

Does anyone know if there are any more coming out on the market? They seemed to have dried up at a reasonable price. The only place I could find them was 50BMG ammo supply but they are high...as they are with everything else they sell. Your link came up for snap caps at Brownells. Im looking for pretty much the same thing, prefer just the Spotter cases though. I have a small supply but I know these are a "get them when you find them" kind of thing. I did find a page of a guy who was forming his own from BMG cases. Forming Spotter Brass What are you shooting them out of? I built this for my daughter and we are going to see if we can take it to 1000yd.

The last good deal I saw on them was when Cabelas closed out their inventory of the projectiles. (They had bags (250 count?) of them in the reloading area) I'm down to a thousand or so, which is a bummer, because they are my favorite "fun" 50 round to shoot. Like blue tips, soon to be gone forever... |

I'm really not in the market for having to find, or have to form, M48 brass. |

Well, I don't have any sons so you never know. Always wanted a red headed step child though.

Quote History I did find a page of a guy who was forming his own from BMG cases. Forming Spotter Brass
...:) that's one of my webpages created back when I first bought an M48 (50spotter) rifle from LigaMec (UltraLite50). I can still make the brass if you need any, but it does take some time to work them into a production slot. Here's a review of my of mine from back in 2006.. http://www.daplane.com/50bmg/ul50rpt.htm //Ben 06FFL - Custom Ammunition Quoted:

I've got a bunch of virgin M48 brass that I bought when Hi-Tech used to have it in stock but have been playing around with other guns and haven't pursued buying a .50 S-T chambered rifle. Everyone I know tries to talk me into getting a .50 BMG instead of the M48 which is another reason it's taken me so long to commit on a .50 rifle choice.

Great ammo BTW, keeps my CA customers happy.

Availability of brass is the only issue with the ST. Other than that its been fun to play with so far. My daughter is 10 so I started her with a 415gr bullet and am slowly working up to something in the 550 to 600gr range...maybe could go as high as 700gr and keep the velocity to something that will carry to 1000yd. |
