Looks like you will be doing some reloading. How come cutting edge prides itself on lead free? I prefer lead in my bullets.

It's all about ease of manufacturing. You can make secant ogives on a lathe using solid copper that you'd never be able to duplicate with standard bullet swaging dies. Also, to change bullets, it's a simple as changing the program for the CNC lathe as opposed to buying $5-$10K in new swaging dies. But, as in anything, nothing comes for free. You end up with long-for-caliber bullets because the monolithics are less dense which translates into increased barrel friction, skin drag and stability issues. It's harder to stabilize a long bullet than it is a shorter bullet. On paper they end up with astronomical BCs, but in reality, no so much. They look cool though.
 
All true, lucky I guess these were designed around this rifle by po, a hide member.

Nothing fancy, Single shot Mcmillan action/stock, barrel is big friggin Lilja (picture is deceptive, it is nearly as long as I am tall 5'11"), smith escapes me... NF scope on it now, not sure what he had on it in pic

I just replaced my Barrett M107-A1 with a Steyr HS 50-M1 shot it on Thursday night with some low loaded ammo from the Barrett.

Looks like it will shoot.

I have the 720, 762, 798 & 802 CEs to try in the Steyr as well as the ADI FMJs.



The Barrett.

 
Nice!

Projo next to a 223
