Hey guys,

I have a McMillan 50 BMG action for a build, I have heard good things about the 50 BMG IMP and know that Pac-Nor barrels has done a few!

Have any of you been around one or know anything about the 50 BMG IMP......

THX,

Dave

never seen nor heard of the 50AI but betting it'd be a wicked Mo Fo!

I do know that the 750 Amax is a bad mother in a standard 50. used them in a Barret M82A1 and a single shot my father had for 1000 yard comps.

750 AMAX.....Sweet Jesus.

Sounds like something made by Yamaha.

I could sure dig one. A Barret semi auto something is on my bucket list. Was thinking along the lines of 416 Chey Tac but a 50AI could work, too. Wonder what 'ol Parker O. Ackley would have really THOUGHT of that one.....

If I rebarrel my 50 I'm fairly sure it'll be to the necked down versions like the chey tac instead of simply and improved 50. nets more range and thats what one has a big gun for anyway, or at least what I bought it for. Fun playing hit the 55 gallon drum at a bit over a mile away as is. Amazing what AP ball can do accuracy wise.

750 AMAX Holly Mackerel I imagine that baby floats.

I have a .50 McMillan I just pulled the barrel off to make a weirdo wildcat. 338-416 Barret Improved. I have all the parts and the reamer, but cannot get motivated to screw it together. I am hoping that 370 gr. 375 rocky mountain bullets will hold together at 3500fps. 50grs more powder capacity than the cheytac improved case, should belch fire.

I read that you can get 3000 fps with the 750gr A-max with the 50 imp, I've seen pictures of the 50 bmg imp case, they are bad ass!

I've talked to Chris at Pac-nor and he has cambered a few!

I don't know what the custom die price would be, but that alone might scare me off right there...lol

Here's a pic of the action next to and remey short action gun!

One of the more humbling pictures I've saw today.

Ramhunter,
Looks like I was full of [bleep] on the price of press and dies, looks like you can get a Hornady press and custom dies for around $600. Have whom ever punches the tube, punch the dies improved and rock on. You do not have a hair on your one good nut if you do not do it. I guess I will just keep that action and do it for you.

If $7-$8 a shot does not scare you off, another dollars worth of powder is no big deal

Pappy,...laffin'... I'm leaning hard toward the 50 imp, like we talked before I'm going to have $3500.00 plus into the rifle!, what's another $200.00 to have something you want! I do like Imp's..I'm thinking 50 imp or bust!....grin

Cardon and I are heading over your way soon.

ive got a dummy round sitting here of a 50 IMP. its a bad ass mofo next to the original. both have the 750 AMAX in them...

Got a picture of them together!....grin

You gonna stick it in a classic or mt rifle swirly?

wonder if my barrett can be punched out ?
pretty happy with a regular .50 cal., but ai'ing it, sure seems fun.

BC of 1.050

Dies are hardened, and chamber reamers aren't dimensioned the same as die reamers.

Ordered a McMillan "Big Mac" stock in Flame yellow,orange,red,black for it from Rick!

Later on I'm going to order a McMillan "tac-50" stock in "GAP" camo too!.....I aready have a mark-4 16x scope for it and badger "50" rings!..need to get a Rock Creek Snipe pod for it too...It's going to be a bad bitch!..I can't even sleep thinking about it!...laffin'

Have not made up my mind on a barrel yet tho, thinking of a Lilja or Pac-Nor in "Navy" contour.....

I found 50 imp dies for $350.00!...it's done, I'm going 50 imp, not cause I need it, cause I want it!....grin

Estimated range capability?

I assume this one is simply going to be a "deck gun"?

Man that is gonna be bad ass! Can't wait to see a pic of the completed rifle, or a round for that matter.
I'd consider Rock Creek in the barrel mix.

I would think 1600 yds, cause that how far the range finder will range!.....grin

yea, It's not goin be a gun you would want to pack to far!

Yep, Rock barrel has intered my mind too!....they are certainty a top of the line barrel....IMO

yes i do...

Thx for posting the picture!....yep, it's done 50 BMG IMP for sure!....grin

Did a little calcutations on JBM Ballistics.....if only for grins...

A 750gr A-MAX at 3000 fps, gives you 15,000 ft-lbs of energy at the muzzle, 7696 ft-lbs at 1000 yds and 3585 ft-lbs at 2000 yds.

With a 200 yd zero, it has 18.7" of MOA drop at a 1000 yds and 56.4 MOA drop at 2000 yds......wicked....

Holy crap. That is crazy. I'd love to put one in the south end of a north bound woof.

sure thing.

That should work good on gophers.

Sweet! I would love to have a .50AI

Course that .50 Fat Mac looks pretty bad too.
