Mike stated that the 50 primers don’t have the ignition to light the powder fast enough. Hence why it is recommended adding black powder or pistol and a wad to help ignition.
No light strikes on the m36a2 primers. No failure to ignite in M36a2 primers.

We had an issue with large pistol magnum primers. Was loading 500s&w, when I didn’t have large pistol magnum primers, during covid, I tried large pistol primers. Every time the pistol was help up pointing in the air, then fired at a target in front, it would ignite. But the 2nd round without “resetting” the powder directly on the primer, would have a delayed ignition. It was a very repeatable issue. Point up, then aim, pull trigger, BANG. Leave the pistol horizontally, pull trigger……..BANG. So we stopped loading those primers. Then large pistol magnum primers came available. Literally the exact same load, every bullet works no matter how we tried to manipulate the powder.

That was basically the same issue with 50 primers. Never an issue with m36a2 primers. I’ve loaded and shot over 350rds in the 20mm. Only those 50 primers were ever an issue.

I don’t know for sure about the 500 Smith & Wesson Magnum but the 460 Smith & Wesson Magnum uses rifle primers not pistol primers.

Load the 460 using pistol primers and you are gonna have a regrettable day. Ask me how I know

Looking for an an affordable and accurate AR-15

M
As someone who owns several AR rifles, I will give you my thoughts. IMHO, perhaps the most likely and affordable way to buy an AR that is going to be very accurate would be to buy a cheaper AR that skimps on the barrel, and budget an additional $300 to buy a premium barrel separately from the AR.

Geissele HBAR, SOLGW SPR barrels, and my Criterion Hybrid nitrided stainless steel are all very accurate/precise for around or less than $300.

I have a few life time friends [i am 72] that i look at and say to myself what was their plan for retirement . We worked very hard and made good money but many of them just blew through the money chasing skirts ,drinks and lines of dope and now they live SS check to check . I came from a broken home and did not like being poor so i learned to save and invest but mostly not waste money . I am at my status I guess because of luck/chance/good decisions [ in any order] and yes i did pull myself up with my work boot straps along with good wives [3rd] .

Few people plan to fail...., however many people fail to plan...for the future, retirement, etc. I agree a lot of people made decent income, but pissed every nickel away as fast as possible..... Then ask "how come I'm broke"?. I was never a financial genius, but I was always scared shitless about ending up poor... As a result we are debt free, retired and comfortable.

Shouldn't you be out there on the front lines kicking Ruskie ass rather than posting propaganda on the hide?

If every internet hero who's cheering on Ukraine to win an unwinnable war went to the front lines, they wouldn't have this problem:

Instead they will continue to cheer on a war from thousands of miles away, the act of ultimate cowardice.
