Since articles about the 50 BMG seem to be declining on this forum, I was wondering how many are still using it at ELR (>1,200yds)? If you once did but have stopped, please let us know why.
For me, I started shooting the 50 in the 90's and went through a few rifle versions, but a few years ago, I finally sold/traded my last along with the equipment. My past access to cheap, bulk mil surplus powders/bullets/ammo was declining, and target bullet prices increasing. But, I think the main reason was more and more ranges were banning 50's, and I was playing with newer, more interesting rounds/loads. I just seem to have lost interest in the big boy.
