[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 130488, member: 10"] Wild Bill, Do you mean 50 BMG case? If so, no, bolt body is not large enough in diameter. I will be reporting very soon on my 50 Allen Tactical that is based on the 408 CT case that we have spoken about already. If my predictions are right and so far they look to be on track, this round will **** near equal standard mil spec 50 BMG performance in a rifle that costs 2/3 as much and is 1/2 the weight. Also will do this with around 80 grains less powder as well. If you were interested in something like that, the M8000 would be perfect as you could eject even loaded rounds depending on what bullet you used. Richard makes a special, short baring surface 750 gr ULD RBBT that is shorter then the M33 ball projectile. BC is not what the match bullets are but this would be one hell of a big game bullet at moderate ranges, 1/2 mile or so!! More to come on that but as far as the BMG on the M8000, not possible. Good Shooting!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
