Back in the 90's, I first began using the 50 BMG as a 1,000yd and then ELR (Out to 2,000yd) round in the early Barret 82 then a few various bolt guns, but eventually moved away from the 50 and sold/traded my rifles and reloading supplies for it. During that time, it was a fun round to play with, but at the time, I could by bulk mil surplus powders and components fairly cheap, and even some mil ammo was available at decent prices.

Today and here, I don't read as much about the big 50, so question is, how many are still playing with the BMG at ELR and if so, what system are you using? If you once did, what were your reasons for moving away from the cartridge?
