4 bones a round. Too rich for my blood.
I tend to throw 200 + rounds down range per visit. On a slow day.

Yeah I thought my M82A1 was chambered in 50 BMG ..... apparently its chambered in 5 dollar bills ......:o)

This is a funny read......The great wall of mart has 50 BMG but no .22 long rifle..... “MERICA”...!!!

Me too. I bought a 5-foot belt of .50 bmg blanks, and accumulated enough live rounds to make a proper wallhanger out of it. Nor cheap, the paint markings on the tracers and APIT rounds were cool. A 12 gauge pump kicks enough, I couldn't imagine going 200 rounds of .50. Forecast for tomorrow: PAIN! :)

Back in the day, you could make an afternoon out of a $10 brick of .22lr, as well as the centerfire stuff. That's why I got into reloading, shoot a lot more for a lot less! The used Herter's turret press I got for $5 didn't hurt, either...

You won’t be throwing 200+ rounds of 50 down range in a day. I can tell you that just 20 or 30 is enough form me.

It takes a toll on your sholder after a while.

I reload for about $2 or less a round. Though a lot of the old 40’s and 50’s brass only lasts about 2 or 3 shots before the necks crack, then I have to find some more brass.
