[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 359327, member: 10"] Experimenting is ALWAYS fun!!! Even if it does not work out as you expected. Worst case senerio, it does not work out as you expected, you still have a great receiver and stock to build on and the 50 BMG action is a great one for many things. I remember reading that the AR-50 receiver was originally designed for the 50 Russian round which is significantly longer and more powerful then the 50 BMG. That made me decide to get my first AR-50. My plan was to design my 510 AM off the longer 50 Russian case and I would have had it not been for the fact that getting Russian brass was nearly impossible at an affordable price, thats why I stepped back down to the BMG case. Point being there are always twist and turns on the road to development, have fun and keep us posted. In my opinion, the 416 Barrett, necked up to 458 and with an improved shoulder design would be most impressive. That is another one I have on my list of "someday" fun projects. It would easily drive a 600 gr VLD to the same velocity as the 50 BMG would drive an 800 gr VLD but do so with much less powder and with very similiar BC values. There are endless possibilities you can play with on that receiver, again, have fun and keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
