[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 514316, member: 24624"] Is the millitary doing this with the 50 BMG? i.e. depleted uranium and sabots for superior penetration If the millitary hasn't found it useful in a shoulder fired rifle with their R&D budget, then it's likely got more than a few problems. Also, I wonder if a progressive twist barrel would help get your velocity up without premature shredding of the sabot? ...the idea being to shoot extremely high BC bullets at high velocity/rpm How would that affect the yaw? Would you be better off to just shoot a well designed 338 cal rifle? -- richard [/QUOTE]
