50cal WSM

[ohnomrbillk]

510 subsonic bullets

I swage as a hobby.

I make a .510 1E round nose rebated boat tail of around 900+ grains.

I also make a .510 6s spitzer rebated boat tail of around 800+ grains.

Does anyone have a test bed to compare the flight of the two?

I'm confident it will take a 10" twist or tighter to stabilize.

If someone can be tolerant of me taking a little while to swage some, I can send a few of each for testing with the understanding I'd expect results to be posted here.

Must have been looking at the Lehigh wrong. The BC is really good. Put it on the someday list.

I found a place with a left over peice of 50 cal barrel. To short for a rifle. I don't really want to make a pistol 50 WSM even sub-sonic.

wkinderknecht,
I would like to purchase some of those larger pills to try. Projectiles of this size is why I have such a fast twist barrel. The heaviest I've seen so far are lead cast in the 975 grain range.

Fred,
How long of a piece of barrel do you want? I'm sure you are aware the standard twist is 1-15". I have read that some guys are using this twist and getting good results with large projectiles at subsonic velocity.

16 plus a little bit so I can make it rifle legal. I'd take as long as I can get up to 21.

Lehigh wants a 10 twist for their fracturing subsonic. The claim a G1 of .884

I've used these to hunt deer and hogs with for a few years. They are devastating!

Might have a lead on a barrel for ya.

That's the little beasty. Put a barrel in a magnum long action and have magazine feed with no problems.

I won't accept any money for them. I'm not licensed to produce bullets for commercial sale.

PM me your mailing address, and I'll send you a few to try out.

I just ask that you let us know your barrel twist, velocity, and how they fly.

Ok,

• A 50 BMG dummy case with a Barns Long Range Bore rider about 0.100 longer than book.
• A 50 WSM dummy case with a Barnes Long Range Bird rider. Same seating depth.
• A 50 WSM case, trimmed to 2.1, 91.5 H2O capacity. These were actually made by cutting down 300 RUM cases and running the custom internal tapered expander. I measured the case wall thickness, tapered from 4.9 to 5.12 to straighten the outside of the case wall.
• My tapered expander
• My Paul Bycal "Wildcatters set back die" for magnum cases.
• The expanders I made for necking up stuff that is bigger than what the Sinclair will do.
• The set back bushings. I used these to make my first xx-Nosler wildcats from RUM brass.
