[QUOTE="del2les, post: 2447824, member: 9299"] Yes. I missed this thread when it first started, or I would have made a similar comment. While I don't have a 50 now, over the years, I have used a Barret 82, an AR50, and had loan of a friend's bolt gun. Back then, we used them for 2,000 yard shooting at 55gal drums, car doors or similar sizes. I still have about 14# of 50 cal mil surplus powder in the shop, and if I remember correctly, its burn rate was similar to US869. In the later 90's, I bought these in 4x8# jugs for 32# per case for just under $100 each. Those were the days. [/QUOTE]
