June 1, 2022. A few seasons back, Richard King, a Texas gunsmith, built a stunning.50 BMG target rifle to impress a customer. This rig is equipped with a McMillan stock and has shown impressive accuracy. Take a look at the target shot during break in. This 3-shot group was measured using On Target software at 0.476? Or 0.454 MOA. This is a beast with a very serious recoil. Is that a record you can beat? Your AR15 can shoot tiny.223-caliber cartridges.
The 50-Cal action is larger than the Rem 700 action in middle. Size is important when shooting a Fifty. Some people were shocked that a man could get such accuracy from a monster.50 BMG. One wag wrote: “Yikes!” After shooting that beast, he will need to flinch therapy. Another Facebooker joked that he shot a.50 MMG and said, “That’s not a gun, THAT is a gun!” Richard King replied that the customer is quite experienced with jumbo caliber rifles. “Remember, this is the guy who shot a.338 Lapua during a two-day F Class match. This 50 might have less recoil due to its heavier weight and brake. “Richard King demonstrated the 13-lb BAT action of this rifle at 2018 Berger SWN. The big BAT.50 BMG action was massive — it reached the size of your forearm (to your finger tips) when fully extended. Richard joked that it weighed almost as much as an FTR rifle (before optics) all by itself.
Yes, the.50 BMG cartridge is a large one. There are special tools that can be used to load the jumbo-sized round. Giraud Tool makes a special comparator for the 50-Cal cartridge. The double-ended.50 BMG comparator can be used in many different ways. You can measure the base-to-ogive bullet distance and also measure the cartridge OAL (from bullet ogive to rim) in one orientation. The comparator can be used to measure cartridge headspace when the orientation is reversed. The Giraud 50BMG Comparator gauge, priced at $33.00 is made of 303 stainless. It fits most verniers, dials, and digital calipers. Click HERE for more information.
