Thanks for the advice..
I'm just looking for some general information on the cartridge.. I'd like to know the different bullet weights, speed, drop, etc.. I don't own a .50 cal, but I'm just curious.. I'd also like to know the maximum effective range of the round. I heard someone on the news say that it is 3 miles..! [:O] Heh, anyways.. Thanks again.. Ian |

Triggerfifty's book is a must read.
.50-Caliber Sniper Course Hard-Target Interdiction Dean Michaelis ISBN-1-58160-068-2 Anyhow, maximum range as stated in an issue of Very High Power is 9000yd at 45* elevation of the barrel. Also, if you are looking into 50BMG, please visit www.ferret50.com |

Sorry, I missed that he was looking for effective range. If I remember correctly by what I have read about Skip Talbot shooting at the Rock: I think they were ar a range of 2 miles. And I think they mentioned that the rounds were going subsonic at 1.5 miles. Im not sure though, but I will look it up.
So what kind of effectiveness are you looking for? Energy, accuracy, or before it goes subsonic? All three will be subjective to outside parameters. |
