Goose wroteAs a sidenote I hope I can find a decent load for this Barret soon I think the nieghbors are getting a little nervous My range is right on the edge of town and this thing is LOUD!!
Goose, the military match load for a .50 is:
661 gr FMJ projectile at 2910 fps +-30 fps using 233 gr of WC860 powder.
You'll need to tweak it a bit since each barrel like something just a smidgen different +/- a grain or 2 in bullet weight, and the same for the powder charge ...
Mudrat
1 pound = 7,000 grain
661 grain = 1.51 ounces
Basically 1.5 ounces of copper and lead traveling 1000 yards in just over 1 second - gotta love it!!!!
