[QUOTE="MachV, post: 30249, member: 93"] <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">quote:</font><HR>The .50 BMG cartidge could be the foundation of everything from .17 to .50 cartidges.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> You must be a Ken Howel fan.Yes it might be a way of getting a given velosity at a lower preasure but the cost would negate any benifits. I'm a big fan of the 50BMG but it does not lend itself to wildcating.The case is an old design to be use in machine guns.Even the primers are very limiting.Your going to run into detonation problems only filling the case to 25% or less of it capasity.The primer alone may be too much for the 17.H50BMG is way too fast for even a 375! The other problem is actions,there are more every day but they are still going to run $1500-$3500. If you want something that goes bang thats one thing but if you are looking for accuracy the BMG case is a costly nightmare! [/QUOTE]
