I have a barrett single shot.I ordered a Lee press yesterday and that is as far as I got.Are there any good loading books for the 50BMG?Thanks for the reply. </div></div>
There is no SAAMI specs for the 50 BMG, so there is no reloading manuals for that cartridge. Having said that, there are plenty of recipes around here for that rifle and projo. I used to have one. For that I use 223 grains of H50 BMG, LC 08 brass, 5.575" OAL. It shot well in the Barrett M99.
There is a book written about the 50 BMG cartridge that you should get. The author of that book is not quite well received at this site. Nonetheless, it's a good book to have if you are shooting the 50 BMG. The book is called "Hard Target Interdiction: The complete 50 caliber sniper course" by Dean Michaelis. The other source for the 50 BMG is to join the FCSA like other have suggested.
Remember one thing though, the 50 BMG is not as forgiven as a 308, or 338LM. So work up accordingly. Don't try to cut corner with it, because bad things can happen. good luck and have fun shooting the 50 BMG. BTW, you may want to fill out your profile.
