50 bmg !!!!

[BT Sniper]

Only have a little time but here are some awesome pics of my 50 BMG bullets. I got to get some loaded up and ready for this weekend's 1,000 yrd match. Took me nearly 3 days to make only 60 bullets, needless to say it was a lot of work getting just this one set of dies finished and set up to make these awesome bullets. Takes a while to get the dies all set up for the first time.

I'm incredibly pleased with how well these dies and bullets performed. This has been over a year in the works! I'll have more info later, till then here is some of the pics!

Targets where at 200 yrds, pretty gusty winds, the target stickers are 1" square. I was very pleased with how these first few shots did on paper, pulling the trigger on 220 grains of powder for the first time on an 825 grain bullet you made yourself makes tends to make one a little nervous but I calmed down right quick and had a blast shooting the rest of these test loads .

More later.

Good shooting and swage on!

[MOcaster]

Either you need a bigger scope or your gun is a whole lot bigger than I think it is... I think it's the gun...

[BT Sniper]

That's a Sightron SIII 5-24x50 scope. Yep the gun makes it look small :)

At 30 rounds per pound of powder and 40 cent a piece primers I don't want to waist it on sub par bullets :) so yep... strive for perfection in everything I do.

[nhrifle]

Brian, those look better than what I have seen available from the established manufacturers. You should send Hornady and Sierra a few samples just to make them jealous!

[Dutchninja]

Those are simply awesome. Would love to hear the process behind it.

[midnight]

Brian: I see you shoot $15 groups instead of $25 groups just as I usually do. You have found out How accurate these huge rifles can be. Three shot groups around an inch are the norm with good bullets and a lot of case prep. I am curious about what appears to be a two piece core. Please explain the reason for that. Two different hardnesses of lead could be the reason but I don't think a reloading press could handle anything but very soft lead especially with a bullet this big. Even the Sea Girt would struggle with harder lead. Maybe that's the reason, dividing the large core into two more managable pieces.

Quick pic to show the steps. I'll have to explain in detail later. As far as the two piece core.... I drilled out a Lee mold all the way threw and attached a plate on the bottom to give me the heaviest chunk of lead the lee could possibly make and still needed 148 (.358) grains more. That was the reason for the two pieces of lead. When I get time I'll figure out a heavier mold. Yep pure lead, I did wind up using the Sea Girt in the end, a little easier then the Lee for this big bullet.

BT

[GoodOlBoy]

Amazing work! You really outdid yourself on this one!

GoodOlBoy

[MOcaster]

Just an idea for your core mold, Brian. Or a question, I'm not too sure which yet. What Lee mold did you drill out? I don't know if any of their other mold blocks are bigger, but I do know the Midsouth 6.5mm CM block is quite a bit taller than their regular blocks. I don't know if it would help you out any to use a one-piece core or if it's more work than it's worth (If it ain't broke, don't fix it, and it don't look broke), but I thought I'd throw it out there. And I'm still amazed at how good those bullets look.

[BT Sniper]

I used a standard 6 cavity lee mold. Think it was a beat up 310 grain 44 cal I had. Yes I need the mold to be taller to accommodate a heavier one piece core, I'll look into that mold you mentioned and see if I can bore it out, thanks! Or I'll have to simply make one of my own.....


I just got back from the weekend 50 cal 1,000 yrd shoot! I entered two divisions, Hunter class (prone off bipods) and Heavy class (off the bench). I loaded up Lehigh solid brass bullets and my custom bullets shown here. I didn't have enough of my bullets to shoot an entire division so the first day in Hunter class I shot the solid brass bullets and the second day I shot mine. I was very impressed with the results! For whatever reason I was able to shoot my bullets into much, much smaller groups!

They are still uploading pics from the match, as soon as they are online I'll post some here.

My last round of the day shooting hunter class with my bullets I had the first four rounds go into a sub 8" group, then staying as focused as I could I sent the 5th one down range and pushed it left..... darn it! But I was very thrilled to have shot my own 50BMG bullets at 1,000 yrds and have them shoot so well. I expect to do even better with them in future events. It is a great feeling again to not have to worry about buying commercial bullets.

I wound up placing 3rd in the match for best overall score in hunter class, if I would of had enough of my bullets to shoot the first day too I bet I would have placed even higher in the standings.

I know what bullets I'll be loading now for all my 50 cal shooting!

Now to seriously get back to work on customer's orders!

BT

[aaronraad]

Nice work Brian.

Is that an AMax on the right in your "steps" pic?

Yes that is a Hornady 750 grain A-Max on the far right of the pic for comparison.

Dang! Nice.

Btw. I finally shot a hog with the bullets you sent me, although not in the 454. I shot them out of a springfield 1911 to drop a 350lb sow.

[BT Sniper]

Yes, I made these with 7/8-14 dies although I can make them with bigger dies if need be.

No I haven't set a price yet. Still takes a bit more fine tuning before ready for sales.

Got very good results on the range at 1k. I'll keep you all posted.

Getting ready for my next 50 cal match in two weeks. I received the Multiswage press a few weeks ago from RCE LLC. and have since slowly been adapting dies and fine tuning to produce my 50 cal bullets. The hydrolic press certainly made things a lot easier but I had a lot of fine tuning of the dies to do over the designs I used last year. Took me the better part of an entire week to fine tune, adjust, learn and redo many of the necessary aspects but I got it to come together quite nicely and was able to produce a little over 600 bullets that I will be testing down range in the next few days.

I was able to improve the boat tail and VLD tip considerably reducing runout, so with a bit of luck these bullets will fly even better then last years design. This years bullets are 820 grains with a 10s ogive and a Corbin VLD tip. Jackets are from RCE.

Good shooting and swage on!

Brian

[monmouth]

:::: bows ::::

Just awesome work!

[FLYCUTTER]

Those are fine looking boolits !! Outstanding Brian !

[aaronraad]

Fair wack of boat-tail there Brian, puts the AMax to shame.

What length and angle did you go for in the end?

[BT Sniper]

9 degrees and .375 diameter at the base. Think it is about .400" in length.

Reminds me of the Sierra Game Kings.

BT

[DukeInFlorida]

I continue to be your biggest fan, Brian!

I wish I had the budget to send you a deposit for these dies!

I'd want to be first in line.....

Nice work, as usual!!

Lest there be any doubters as to Brian's abilities, here's the PROOF that he's in a class all his own!

[BT Sniper]

I rarely venture out of the swaging forums of this great site but I find myself in need of some of the vast knowledge of shooters on this great site. I am a member of the FCSA (Fifty Cal Shooters Association), a couple times a year I take out my two 50BMG rifles and complete against other shooters for score and group size at 1,000 yrds.

You guys have already seen my custom bullets

The challenge is it is getting harder to find gun clubs that allow us to shoot these awesome calibers. What a lot of fun they are too. So far my best group is 7" at 1k with my own bullets. I am looking to break that this year. There are only a few gun ranges in the US that allow us to shoot these 50s in competition, I'm lucky to live within a three hour drive of one of these ranges.

The knowledge and information I'm looking for from you guys is any additional locations/gun clubs that might be willing to support an FCSA sanctioned shoot. We need 1,000 yrds and target area with pits that allow targets to be marked for score. Below is a rough map of the few locations that have a FCSA sanctioned shoot each year. It is marked with a 400 mile wide circle. I'm looking for some new areas in the locations outside of these circles, or heck even new locations close to them would be cool too. I'm thinking somewhere around Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Kansas City and maybe SW Texas could certainly benefit from a place to shoot and watch these awesome guns in action.

Here is a look at the "pits" that protect the scorer and allow use to score the targets quickly while the shooter is still on the clock.

If you know of any gun ranges that might meet the requirements to allow such a match please feel free to let me know. If you are ever in the area of these matches I urge you to look into checking it out, ask to help in the pits, it is awesome to see the bullets strike the target and hear the crack of the bullet pass by. Ask questions from the shooters, I have known members to let others shoot their big 50s before! How cool is that!

Here is a link to the dates these matches will be held, the black circles on the map represent where they are. Certainly some of you must be in driving distance of these locations and would love to see, take part or even shoot a big 50BMG!

I have not shot at the Missoula Range, but have had several tell me it's a great 1000yard range. Might be an option for the listing you are creating. Following web site speaks to "Bench Rest", but I do not know how the butts are configured/operated. Here is their web site:

[rockrat]

Love to have a range here to shoot the big boys. Nothing yet, but we are working on it.

[BT Sniper]

Mustang! That range looks AWESOME! Do you know if they allow 50s?

Thanks!

Brian

[aaronraad]

9 degrees and .375 diameter at the base. Think it is about .400" in length.

Reminds me of the Sierra Game Kings.

BT

Just looking at it again is that a true conical boat-tail (straight taper), or is the image just giving it a slight radiused appearance. I can certainly understand why you would use a radius.

0.400" of length is pretty much where you want to be at with the 510 cal. The good thing is that +/-0.010" in boat-length won't have a big impact like it does on the small-bore calibres.

What do the theoretical dimensions spit out when using the Litz's G7 form factor estimator?

[BT Sniper]

The bullets in post #32 are last years version, they had a bit of a rebated boat tail to it. This years model is better and both are made to have straight taper with no radius.

I have all Litz's books but haven't had the time to look into it enough to find out how to calculate the G7. I did some rough calculations using JBM site and as I recall it put the G1 between .990 and 1.05 depending on FPS which was really close to the A-Max and maybe a little better as I ran the numbers for the A-Maxx too. I'm not too concerned with the BC numbers, I'll dial up as much as need be, so long as they are accurate.

[clodhopper]

I have shot silhouette at Missoula's range. It is not uncommon to have very light wind conditions there. The place is so good it is difficult to find a weekend with no conflicting events.

I figured with the trees and valley protection the light winds would be great for shooting. It looked so good I called the VP today. He said they would be open to the idea of a 50 cal shoot there. Yes I saw the schedule is pretty booked. Talking to the VP he mentioned a number of record groups have been shot there, no doubt with the light wind I suppose.

Thanks for mentioning the range guys. It might just happen!

Keep the ideas for locations coming.

Well BT, how did they shoot this weekend? I thought you were taking the 50's out, or did I misread something.

Bill

[BT Sniper]

Just got back. I'll have pics and results soon. Did very well.

[BT Sniper]

Had a very good competition shoot in central Washington this weekend. I have been very busy this last three weeks (while dies where at Nitride) working on making my newly designed 820 grain 50 cal match bullets that my Dad and I shot in this match. With 240 grains of powder we where pushing these bullets right at 2700fps. Also spent a lot of time modifying the guns, prepping the brass, load development etc. etc.... Quite a lot of work when it was all done, but the results where worth it!

My Dad and I both had our own guns to shoot and both of us entered 2 classes (divisions) of the match, hunter class (shot prone off the ground with bi-pods) and heavy class (shot of a bench with a rest). Over two days, six groups of five shots are fired for both score and group size to give a total of 300 points possible. After the first day it was very close between my dad and I for both score and group size in both classes. The second day brought out a bit more challenging winds yet we still did very well, not to mention temps reaching the low 90s!

After the match was over and scores where tallied we took 1st and 2nd in the hunter class for smallest combined group sizes (aggregate) and took 1st and 3rd for total score also in hunter class, I missed 2nd place by 1 point. My dad really cleaned up in the hunter class shooting a score of 268 (nearly an average of no less then then the 9 ring for every shot!) and his group aggregate was around 1.5 MOA as I recall all off the ground!

My dad also took third in the combined two gun class where they combined all the shooters score and group size that where shooting at least two classes which every shooter there that weekend was.

In heavy class off the bench we still need a bit more practice but managed a 4th place finish in both group size and score.

Over all using my custom made bullets was a huge improvement in our results over past years using either the Hornady A-max or solid brass lathe turned bullets. A little more fine tuning of the guns, loads and bullets might even produce even better results but for now my dad and I where thrilled with the results of these bullets it looks like all that work and long hours in the shop certainly paid off. It looks like I might just be capable of making dies and match bullets able to compete with the best of them in the 50 cal market, still have a little fine tuning to go but it certainly was a rewarding feeling.

Good shooting and swage on!

North Springs Range in Price, Utah is one that offers targets all the way out to 1950yrds. Probably the nicest outdoor shooting facility in all of Utah.

If you are serious into long range shooting (or even if your not) look up Long Range Shooters of Utah. (LRSU) They offer the milk jug challenge, its basically bragging rights for shooting milk jugs at 1000 yards, 1250 (I think), 1750 (I.E 1 Mile) and 2000 yards. You'll have to look them up to get the rules, but they are quite popular events and you get a vinyl sticker with the accompanying yardage for the shot, I've seen a few of them on the backs of rigs.

At some point I want to run the gambit with my .338LM and some handmade bullets and tailored loads, as well as doing some work with a M1 Garande and irons at 1000yds.

There are quite a few ranges all over Utah that you can get to 1000 yards. I do a lot of work and testing out at Price, despite living in Provo. Worth the trip.

Any idea when these new dies will be available?

[BT Sniper]

I'm just finishing up the machine work on 3 sets of these 10S vld die sets. I also machined 3 sets of the 50 Alaskan as well as 3 sets of a 6s ogive with .125 meplat 50 BMG die sets.I expect to send them off to Nitride by end of this week.

Whats the expected weight going to be?

Weight? as in bullet weights? the Alaskan could be anywhere from 250 grains to a lot????? I would have to check but certainly over 500 grains. I think I posted some pics of a 600 grain bullet for the Alaskan.

As far as wait times.... well I am sending them off to nitride tomorrow and expect them back just after the holiday.

I was hoping for a somewhat high BC boat tail bullet somewhere around 650-700 gns for a 510 Whisper. But 820 should work well and be easy to keep subsonic.

Hey Brian,
I got the samples the other day. Looking good. Thanks.

Your welcome! Thanks for the brass. I haven't made but only a couple of the 510 from scrap brass yet, the one I sent wasn't the best example but it was the best one I had available.

Swage on!

Practice makes perfect. I am sure the learning curve is steep. Your welcome. If you need more, let me know.
