I looked into getting a .50B, but went with a .458 SOCOM instead. There is a greater variety of bullets available for reloading, cases are easy to find, and it requires no magazine modifications to make it reliable. I have heard that mag mods are not always required with the .50, so YMMV. Another reason I went with the .458, is in todays political climate, and the hatred towards anything .50 caliber, it may take a bit longer for some dumbass politician to come up with a BS reason why they need to ban weapons like my .458. I have read where the.500 S&W Mag is in the hotseat now because it is alleged to be able to penetrate Kevlar vests, like the ones worn by LEO. Everyone knows that a .50 BMG will shoot down orbiting satelites, Airliners, and demolish an Armored Limousene. In a nutshell, if it has .50 in the name, we must ban it!
I think you get the point I am trying to make.
