I have been reloading for 45 years (I shoot F-Class at 1000 yards with a Palma rifle.) But the 50 BMG is a new deal for me. I really could use a little help.
I entend to use the gun for fun shooting out to 1000+ yards in informal fun get togethers with other 50 cal shooters in my Club.
First, I have seen a chart showing the dates that different military ammo plants switched from corrosive to non-corrosive primers, but I need a copy of that chart. My memory is about as long as my.......
Secondly, what is the Forums feelings about uising Military surplus powders? They are MUCH cheaper which makes me wonder.
Third, what is the Forums feelinsg about using demilled military projectiles? They also are much cheaper that A-Max bulle
hemFourth, what is the Forums feelsing on the Lee 50 BMG reloading press kit? Same deal, much cheaper but..... Some Lee stuff seems as good as anyone elses and some has just sucked for me.
Not trying to get by on the cheap as I load on a Forster press with Redding comp dies for most other cartridges, but this 50 BMG seems more a arm cannon than our basic sporting round. I am jsut now putting my toe in the 50 BMG water, so to speak.
Thanks in advance from a 50 BMG newby,
