McMillan action K&P barrel and clam shell break. For reference on load data 226 grains powder is used on a 750 grain match bullet.

Well that is a really nice shoulder fired cannon.  Any idea what kind of foot pound energy is generated?

You sure have some cool toys. Those look like VLD type bullets.

Where do you shoot at?

I have a Barrett 82A1, I shoot at Terrys in Manchester and a freinds farm in Moore county, longest shot is 400yrd+/-

I luv spotting for my 14yr old son, I can't ever see the bullet impact because the shock wave scares the hell out of me AND he gives me a 5 second warning for when he is about to pull the trigger...He shoots from the prone position and I'm in a chair 10' behind him..

I should give up the spoting scope and buy some APIT and use binoculars...LOL

The problem with owning and shooting a 50 is the the back drop what's back there to stop the bullet? I shot into the woods which were about 400 yards deep but then I thought one day what if someone was there and I didn't know it? Now the rifle is mostly a safe queen and only time I do shoot it is when I meet up with my buddies in Milan GA where we shoot it out past a mile.

Very nice rifle! :up:

What scope?

When I ever get some time, Johnny, you and I need to meet up at Terry's! Three 50 BMG's should help make some thunder on a sunny day! :lol:
