I can't answer your question but I can at least point you in the right direction.....Go to http://www.FCSA.org and go to the "visitor" section and then to their discussion forums. Its a great source of info for .50 bmg enthusiasts.

The article in the link above was pretty interesting until the comment about tumbling ammo. I thought that myth had been laid to rest unless 50 BMG propellant is somehow susceptible to vibration.

You may be interested to know that John Moses Browning was employed by Winchester until they had a falling out. JMB, in fact designed many of Winchester's lever action rifles. Other than that, the .50BMG is just a scaled-up version of the .30-'06.

There is also a 3/4 page article on page 42 of the June 2002 issue of [i]Small Arms Review[/i] on the history of the .50 BMG by Peter Kokalis.
It's part of an article about two new sniper rifles from FN. One in 7.62 Nato and the other in....um.... .50 BMG. [:D] |
