[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 363925, member: 10"] 460or338, Those powders you list are far to slow in burn rate for the BMG. The BMG is a very old, very inefficent case design. WHen it was designed, with the powders they had at the time, it needed this huge capacity. Now days, my 50 Allen Tactical based on a modified 408 CT necked up to 50 cal will come within 50-75 fps of matching standard 50 BMG loads and do so with around 145 grains of RL-19 compared to 215 grains of H-50BMG in the BMG case. Simply put, its a good design but its an old design and much larger then it really needs to be for the modern powders we have available to us today. Still, its a hell of alot of fun!!! Holding onto a round with a 6" OAL is always impressive. [/QUOTE]
