Anyone out there try some of the new 350g Sierras out in their 50AEs? I ran some of the 334g Rainier FP with 29g lilgun & the accuracy was awsome with my Tromix upper. Just thought the 350s may get even better. Thanks in advance, Ron

FWIW, in testing, the 50AE's always outshot the 440 Corbon's and the .458 SOCOM's.  That really seemed odd to me, but that was my personal experience.  I have some customer targets sent in, where the 50AE threw them into one fairly small ragged hole at a 100 yards.  I haven't tried any of the new 500 SW bullets though.

The first prototype 50's had 1:18 or 1:15 twist barrels like the ones used by American Firearms.  Accuracy sucked.  I had Pac-Nor make a custom 1:25 rifling button and the groups shrank from 4" to one hole.

My 50AE runs rings around my 440. I was suprised how well the 334s did over the 325s. Dont get me wrong, the 325s will produce one ragged hole but the 334s did it almost efortlessly. Thats when I thought the 350s may be even better. Just wondering if anyone has tried them & if so, what load did they try. Thanks, Ron
