my state arms 50 bmg has been doing some goofy stuff lately, my bullets are tumbling not spinning, there is a full bullet mark including the boat tail on my targets there all over the paper... anybody ever had this problem? what the hell is goin on? 200 yards is fine and 500 there tumbling.

Re: .50 bmg bullet problems
What projectile you using? Commercial or handloads? What is twist rate of your barrel?

Re: .50 bmg bullet problems
Round count on the barrel? Have you got any lands left? That's assuming you're using a projectile compatible with your twist rate and chamber. I've seen a number of State Arms rifles and they all have shot very well in capable hands, to several thousand rounds.

Re: .50 bmg bullet problems
im shooting pmc and federal-american eagle rounds through it, both in 660 grain, i dont really shoot enough to make reloading worth while, barrel and lands look good, im not sure on the twist rate though, ill have to call them.
