Gussers Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 That's pretty cool. Nice pic. I never thought the .50 BMG bullet was so long. I guess you need the length when trying to cram 650 grains of bullet in to .5" of bore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Part of the reason it's so long is that it is a brass bullet. A normal lead core/FMJ isn't quite that long. Still an interesting comparison, does give a clue why a .50BMG has a reasonably healthy recoil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
