Need bullet specifications

[joelinux]

So, I'm an engineer, and have a few engineering buddies.

We are about to build a stupid and unnecessary thing because we are bored/drunk.

For that, we need specifications on the .50BMG M33 round, to include weight and CG. Does anyone know where I can get a set of specs on it?

Sure did. I have the missing toe to prove it.

Seriously though, yes I have...last trip, I was able to slap steel consistently at 1100 yards after walking in 2 shots. I was pretty happy about it.

There must not have been any wind

Jesus, you don't tire of the bullshit do you?

No one who actually shoots believes what you just said.

The setup is that we are shooting inside a valley and shooting up the side of a hill. The valley opens up to the ocean, and in the early afternoon as things warm up, the onshore flow remains somewhat consistent for large stretches.

The flags were blowing, so there was definitely some wind, and I was able to hit consistently. So either that explains the consistent hits or I'm an amazing shot and naturally gifted at reading the wind.
