50 bmg primers

[lablover]

Where does one find spent 50 bmg primers? I hear they will make great jackets for .32 acp

Thanks

I got mine for a guy on "Alaska Out Door Forums" sub section Alaska shooting. He is a gunsmith in Fairbanks, goes by then name of "gunbugs" and shoots a 50 cal Browning machine gun. I bought 3000 from him for $30 plus shipping. I haven't tried other options but there must be a machine gun forum that you could ask about used primers for the 50bmg. Or maybe a forum for those shooting 50 BMG rifles. I make an 85gr swc that is almost jacketed to the start of the taper of the lead.

I use an old Swag-o-Matic designed to put half jackets on lead cores and form different points. I use a lyman 65gr 25cal boolit as a core and use a home made die and punch at .314 and the 308 swc top punch to form the bullets. The dies are very simple, they are just a straight round shaft with the proper size hole and a nail shaped ejector pin that fits in the bottom. I have a core mold that I could adjust to make bullets of different weights but haven't yet.

Jump on the FSCA forum.... They make perfect Jackets for 32 S&W wadcutters in target pistols as well...

Try joining some of the 50BMG forums and posting on them for spent primers.

I probably have 50 or so spent BMG primers; but they are out in the "Casting Shed" and the snow still has not melted away to get into it. If you do not find some - drop me a PM in early May & I'll see what I have,

Sounds good. Thank you

I have about 1500 problem is they are still in the empty cases.

Don't own a 32 so I'll save them when I reload the cases.

Always been tossing them for the last 20 years didn't know there was a use for them.

These would be out of barret cases if that matters.
