So you say the 600 plus grain 50 bmg bullets are for whimps?

[sha-ul]

How soon for the group-buy for molds at cast boolits?

[redtazdog]

Subsonic .510" bullet, looks like. I swear Lehigh (or possibly another bullet maker) used to offer something that looked exactly like that.


EDIT: Yep, look at the picture on the upper right here. They no longer make them from copper, but brass instead.

Yep thats a Lehigh bullet i shoot in the 510 Whisper, They open real fkn BIG when they hit a wild hog and I didnt even need to gut it out I have around 500 of those bullets left out of a 1000 I found on gunbroker for cheap.

i want to see the damage that the projectile does upon impact

So which is more impressive: that or the Anzio Ironworks 20mm??

I'm not certain if you're serious, but here's an idea.

20mm = ~0.787". 950JDJ is .950".

"The custom single-shot rifles for the .950 JDJ reportedly weighed over 100 pounds, I really doubt that you could make a manageable handgun out of it. (The muzzle brake alone weighed something like 18 lbs.)

Remember the ballistics, 3,600 grs at ~2,200 fps."

That works out to 38685 ft-lbs of energy at the muzzle.

At approximately 38,000 foot-pounds of kinetic energy, the 20mm Vulcan round fired out of the Anzio Rifle has over three times the power of the .50 BMG cartridge fired out of a comparable rifle, which is around 12,200 foot pounds of kinetic energy.

So, basically, it's a wash in terms of ft-lbs.

The real magic of the 20mm is that it fires a pointy bullet better at certain tasks than the .950's less pointed projectile.

The 950 will be easy to load subsonic rounds for use with a can, The 20mm would need stuffing
to fill the case.
The 20mm is better for long range, the 950 is good for short to mid range as the pill drops like a rock.

I was mostly curious what you guys thought about the tradeoff between a lighter, dramatically faster, and slightly smaller diameter bullet (20mm) and the heavier, slower, Mack truck of a bullet coming out of the .950.

Either is equally impractical.

I bet they're both equally a hoot to shoot. Once...

[PTK]

Either is equally impractical.

Hey, he already answered, it IS practical for him!

Because I want to and need a real big gun to make up for my real small wee wee

James degroat had a connon for sale and I thought about purchasing it but it would have cost more than a
addadicktome so I passed on the purchase.
