[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 391459, member: 2736"] Don't wan't to scare people off from the big 50 so I thought I would give some perspective to the price of ammo for the beast. 50 BMG re loads from $3.70 each to $5.18 each depending on what bullets you buy unless you have to buy your brass up front. I found a source for New PMC loaded ammo for $3.34 each (New brass and Boxer primed) that was cheaper than I could reload and it is very good ammo and has good brass. so I bought as much as I could afford at the time and will buy more in the future. The point is that there are Lot's of calibers out there that cost more than the fifty to buy or reload. And some of the specialty calibers are much higher in cost. As an example=All of the 378 Weatherby cased ammo is much more (around $7.60 each). and there are Lot's more that exceed the cost of the 50 BMG (Go Figure, It Has got to be demand because with a case capacity of 260grs+ and 650 to 800gr bullets ) it has to cost the manufacture more to load for the 50. Any way I just wanted to share what I found out after getting into the 50 BMG business. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
