Any Desert Tech HTI 50 BMG Owners?

Bipods...
I have owned just about every option........ALL suffer form excessive "Slop" IMO !!
I used an F.Class derivative Bipod at one point and the difference was huge ...so i designed and built the example in the pics...it doesn't look "tactical" ....but it is 100& stable....the Atlas Super Cal i had feels like a spindly . wobbly piece of crap in comparison..

Any Desert Tech HTI 50 BMG Owners?

I noticed some pics you posted earlier where you didn't use a blast shield. Is the blast that bad even with the T6 on it?
Without blast shields the T6 does a very good job of mitigating recoil ...the back blast is not terrible, but it is still quite substantial.
I suffer from severe Tinnitus ....so anything i can do to offset its effects prolongs my time shooting..

Some time ago i did a session with the 50 in "Naked " form ....i fired circa 80 rounds that day...well the next couple of days i suffered from severe vertigo and nausea..... the concussive effect on me was substantial !!
With the blast shields i can do extended sessions with the 50 without ANY effects whatsoever ....it might look extreme but it makes it such a pleasure to use..
Just a few weeks back i had a young 12yr old girl fire 20 odd rounds of the 50 at extended range....no drams at all. The young lass will progress into quite a shooter judging from her efforts !!

6.5 PRC loading with 140 ELD

RL26 is not very temp stable either. Any of the double base "super" powders that give way more velocity give up temp stability as a tradeoff. They also tend to torch barrels much faster.

All N5xx, RL26 ect.

H1000 or even H4350 if you aren't chasing speed.
H4831sc is solid with 120-130gr bullets in shorter prc barrels.
