[QUOTE="Max Heat, post: 839507, member: 43153"] Those were some pretty quick reponses. I actually HAVE seen that pic of the 50BMG necked down to .22, next to the (20 gauge, I think) shotshell. I must say that it IS kind of cool to see it again though. My question is did someone actually physically do it, or is it photoshopped? Either way, I can't see it actually working without blowing up, unless it it is SEVERELY under-loaded to like <25%. But then what would be the point? Has anyone looked at the 22-243 dies thread (currently running, near-top), where one of the responders actually DID do a 30cal neckdown of the 50BMG cart. Unless he is BSing, he claims 5850fps, pushing 180gr pills. It did evoke a response from me! I have heard of the TTH and the catbird, which apparently DOES use the "06" or "x57" case, since it is .270 based. Are dies for either of those, or any of the others mentioned for that matter, available without going "custom'? P.S. - By "x57", I am referring to the case's volumetric capacity, NOT an actual size measurement. [/QUOTE]
