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.PTK wrote: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.

I'm not certain if you're serious, but here's an idea.
20mm = ~0.787". 950JDJ is .950".
The real magic of the 20mm is that it fires a pointy bullet better at certain tasks than the .950's less pointed projectile.
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.

So, basically, it's a wash in terms of ft-lbs.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.
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 stuffingPTK wrote:I'm not certain if you're serious, but here's an idea.

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.
Re: So you say the 600 plus grain 50 bmg bullets are for whi
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...
