Didn’t know if this is or was a thing. But is there a 50 bmg shoot or get together in the Oklahoma area. I do like to shoot my 50 but I never see them at the range. Just thought it would be fun to attend one.
Well I have one, tried to shoot it down at Fouled Bore but all I had was surplus ammo. light primer strikes because of the hard primers. I have since found out from the factory that I could only shoot Federal ammo. Got some but have not been back to try it. There is also the machine gun shoot in Wyandotte but to shoot your own weapon you need a space on the firing line and those are sold out several years in advance.
Never had that problem with mine. I have been shooting Hornady and American Eagle blue box ammo.
I think it would depend on what 50 it is. A Barrett usually doesn't have that issue, but I've heard other brands may not like Mil ammo.
Ya, ive had a few different brands, and my barrett is the only one ive had no problems with.
Really odd ammo failure. Mil spec primers aren’t that hard, I would respring any 50 rifle that wouldn’t shoot any ammo made. My 99 will shoot anything from 40’s surplus to current lake city and will shoot lights out with 750gr amax.
I would be interested in shoot as well if y’all get together. I got an m82a1 QC coming and would bring it as well.
