.50 bmg

The .50 Browning Machine Gun (.50 BMG, 12.7×99mm NATO and designated as the 50 Browning by the C.I.P.) is a .50 in (12.7 mm) caliber cartridge developed for the M2 Browning machine gun in the late 1910s, entering official service in 1921. Under STANAG 4383, it is a standard service cartridge for NATO forces as well as many non-NATO countries. The cartridge itself has been made in many variants: multiple generations of regular ball, tracer, armor-piercing (AP), incendiary, and saboted sub-caliber rounds. The rounds intended for machine guns are made into a continuous belt using metallic links.
The .50 BMG cartridge is also used in anti-materiel rifles. A wide variety of ammunition is available, and the availability of match grade ammunition has increased the usefulness of .50 caliber rifles by allowing more accurate fire than lower quality rounds.

    Anyone ever bore sighted @ 1 mile?

    Hey guys. I just got my 20 MOA Spuhr mount on my 50, have a great view across the valley, and figured I’d try using a light ranged at 1760 yards to bore sight my scope. The plan was to zero at one mile (Why not, it’s a 50 😂) and turret down from there. I am assuming I can do this with the 20MOA...

    • SHERWOOD

    I've got a friend turning "the big one" (50yrs old) so figured an appropriate gift would be a .50 BMG round as a memento. Anyone have a round (live or dummy) or empty case they'd be willing to sell? Or know of any places locally I could buy just one round or empty case? Thank you!!

    Barrett M99 trigger

    Put about 30 rounds through the M99 yesterday and came to the conclusion this trigger needs to go. Seems to pull back about 3/8” before firing. While pulling back it’s not smooth either. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions on a better trigger system?
