H50BMG

[jbs2014]

All

I heard that H50BMG will no longer be offered. I had a really good load for my 375CT with a 375 grain bullet and 138 grains of H50BMG. Anybody know of any suitable powders

Thank you for your time

I'd like to know about this as well. I use it in my 375ST and recently got a 50BMG that I was going to use this same powder.
Where did you hear this was being discontinued and when will that happen?

Read on another site that a member spoke to someone at Hogdon and it is gone as of now. If you want some, better get it before the remaining supply dries up.

 

[nchunter182]

Yep. I did a search and that seems to be the word. Better go shopping...

Just getting into this 50 stuff. H50bmg was on my list to try. What would be a good alternative

If you cant find any 50 BMG you might look at Vihtavuori. The N 570 or the 24N41.

Both have worked very well in my 338 Texan.

Thanks! I can shoot a mile at my farm and would like to give it a try. Just want to squeeze as much accuracy out of this thing as possible

Dang, I wanted to try some in my EDGE at some point. Passed up an 8lber @ the my LGS for stupid cheap, wish I had bought it now.

I've been using RL-50 and RL-33 in my Snipetac with really good results. I recently got some 8133 to try and gonna try some RL-26 with the 350 grain bullets.

I tried the Retumbo but after 2850FPS I started to get pressure. The H50BMG got me past 2900 with no pressure signs at all. I wonder if the RL-50 is the same as the H50BMG?

No.
RL50 is double based. You should exceed H50bmg velocities with RL50.
