Order the best 50 BMG ammo Online from Targetammostore.com

Today we have the pleasure to discuss one of the most known cartridges but probably also the least understood of all competition cartridges, the fifty cal bullet Cal specifically the 50BMG. Mention 50cal and almost every person out there with some general knowledge has heard of the cartridge whether he is into firearms or not, pro or anti gun. The advent of better known brands like Barrett in the US has made the cartridge even more popular, featuring in films, pop culture, movies and everything in between, the round is better known for its role in the heavy M2 machinegun. A brief look at any world news feature and you will probably spot one mounted on some pickup somewhere around the world.

Rifletalks.com is interested in precision cartridges. Today we catchup with the man that everyone kept pointing me to when I asked about 50cal match 50 bmg ammo experience. Meet Randy Powell, owner of Thunder 50 bmg ammo, these guys make some of the best handloaded 50bmg ammo in the business loading for the 50cal world championships. Randy Powell also shoots for Team Accuracy International USA and Leupold. This gives the man even wider perspective and knowledge but nothing beats personal interest and passion so Randy ticks all the boxes and he does this also for a living which goes a full circle.


Randy also makes his lathe turned brass bullets for 50cal, 416 and 460. Jay Dvorsky spoke to me in great detail about this when we met in France at KO2M. Jay is one of the few Americans I know that also has experience on the 460 Steyr, a round that is derived from the parent 50BMG brass and he brought this rifle with him to France so there you have it, small world, people with similar interests instantly clicks in place. Eduardo, founder of Ko1m/2M also pointed me towards Randy when I asked more technical questions about the 50 bmg bullet For Sale, 416 and 460Steyr cartridges. Below you can see the 460Steyr doing what it does best, printing big holes past 2000meters;

I was introduced to this round in 2008 when I lived in the alpine country of Switzerland. At the time, Pete Reynolds, a British Expat living in Swiss and FCSA Swiss president had introduced me to the club he had going there and thanks to him, I started learning more of this round as chambered for heavy precision rifles. A few Swiss guys gave me the opportunity to shoot with them during my stay there and over that year, I had the opportunity to learn more about it from knowledgeable people. Below was my first impact with 50BMG on the 1100m target at Yverdon shooting some Ruag 50 bmg ammo from the Steyr HS50 Rifle which Thomas, an FCSA Swiss member onboarded me on. Thomas switched to flying these days but i’m still hooked on the these bigger rounds.

Below: Thomas running me (https://targetammostore.com editor) through his Steyr HS50 50 bmg bullet For Sale rifle at the Swiss alps Military Range. Baptism of 50BMG fire! I had seen them shoot out to 1800m and that had ignited a permanent interest in ELR as well as big bore cartridges. Pete Reynolds got me on to the ticket when he invited me to shoot his AMSD Nemesis bolt action rifle, at the time it was still owned by AMSD but later exchanged hands to Swiss Arms known as SAN 511 rifle 50BMG. I loved this rifle and Pete fueled my interest by igniting the wick on 230grains at a time! This guy and Vince Bottomley, both very well known British shooters were the guys who helped me start out and thanks to their part, I am on to what we are up to now creating ELR competitions in Italy, this side of the Atlantic. Extreme Shot Italia IV will see some 76 International teams heading to Sicily in October 2017 to shoot 500m-2000m!

What is so different about loading for the 50bmg?
I am aware the US is the largest 50BMG market out there with ample supply of 50bmg delinked 50 bmg ammo, powders, brass and bullets, a large mix of quality as well as bulk components from machinegun shoots.

The greatest difference for us is the load-consistency by the rejection of surplus and second-grade components. Large bore cartridges have a similar loading process to small bore cartridges, the larger rounds require larger equipment and are more labor intensive. The process itself is very much the same, consistency is the key to accuracy.


This means that some maybe reloading pulled 50 bmg ammo with those components for plinking with their M82s or else loading 50BMG match ammo with the best components around for competition in BR like rifles.

In your experience, what do most 50BMG handloaders load, plinking or match ammo, both?
You get both, some people might not use the best components but will load with consistency, while others might buy the best components but lack consistency in their loading. If you sort your bullets by weight and diameter, sort your case buy weight, or better yet internal volume, sort the primers by weight. Then accurately weight your powder charge, and seat your bullets concentric with the case, you can achieve good accuracy with even less expensive surplus components.

What are the main differences between these two types of 50BMG ammunition?
The main difference I would say is the components you choose. A match grade machined monolithic 50 bmg bullet For Sale in inherently more accurate for example than a lead core ‘ball’ bullet with a copper jacket. Mainly due to is consistency in dimensions and profile 50 bmg bullet For Sale to 50 bmg bullet For Sale, also the very low drag design with it’s higher Ballistic Coefficient will give you greater stability at longer ranges.

For the purposes of this interview, let’s speak about MATCH 50BMG ammo, this is the hardest and most expensive to find and if we’re shooting such a round, we want to get the maximum potential. I remember Walter Wilkinson’s performance with his 50steyr at the Ko2M, his performance showed the round isn’t dead for match purposes. Mark and Sam also did some interesting videos with their 50BMG in USA.
