.50 BMG Reloading Gear

[ChrisB]

May be able to asssit with powder thrower, scales and target master if required ....

Or we can support each other and reload together ... I need the moral support buddy

Sounds like a plan!

Just need a primer stuffer for the Lee press, then ready to make the world a slightly more unsafe place...!

Stuffer ordered. Whoop.

Just out of curiosity how much is it to reload a .50 round?

Weve got a .50 RPA at our club and its a tenner a shot. When I asked about reloading them I was told its not worth it

they are right, it would not be worth it for the club to reload it due to insurance concerns, and no doubt the healthy mark up they are making per shot at the moment

The costs break down as

New Brass Laupa/RWS/Hornady/Peterson is £5 per case but I am running some well past 20 reloads with annealing.

Projectiles 750gr A-max are circ £3 each
Turned solids from EPA £1.80
Pulled 660gr ball is £1.10
Tracer £1.10
Powder depending on projectile I run 230-245gr per case. So about £1.15
primers £0.25 each

You can buy Milsurp ammo for circa £2.50 / bang ball and tracer.

Match grade stuff from EPA is circa £8 / bang

Joys of being sponsored by Hornady!
