I am still up in the air if I should try the lehigh Hybrids. $100 bucks is alot to spend if it is not going to work. It took alot of side jobs to get the gun and it seems it will take just as many to get her shooting how I want it to. Just trying to make the most well informed decision to keep the cost down and get the results I want. I really appreciate the help. </div></div>
Just buy the Lehigh Ball then...seriously though,you are shooting a costly caliber to begin with-not to mention you are shooting a $8000 stick plus whatever optic you have on it. NOW is not the time to try to save a few bucks.
50BMG is without a doubt the most frustrating cartridge to attain accuracy you are used to out of a 308 or other common centerfire rifle. You ARE going to spend ALOT of time shooting loads that don't work.
I would STRONGLY recommend buying the CH4D COLLET PULLER for 50BMG-YOU WILL be pulling down loaded ammo because the particular load didn't work for shit.
Pulled M2 700gr. Blacktips are going to be the most accurate of the military surplus. AND they are hard to find these days.You can try here:
Pat's Reloading AMAX and H50BMG is your best bet. With VERY careful attention to brass prep. But get the whole "keeping the cost down" thought out of your head. You'd have had substantially better success with a 338LM.
PS: if you plan on shooting that at Mifflin County-FYI: AMAXES are NOT allowed,as is tracer,APIT or Spotter/Tracer.</div></div>
Could not possibly agree more with the above statement. The CH4D collet puller is a dream to use. I pulls bullets out so nice and easy with absolutely no marks at all. I have had GREAT success and accuracy with the 700 grain blacktip. They are almost as accurate as AMax's.
I like Hi-Tech for components also.
