What digests this huge round? We tested the Barrett M82/M107. What about kick? This article will rid you of any concern…well some of it, anyway. And believe it or not, a .50 BMG bullpup will soon be available in the U.S.
-
- .50 BMG cartridges tower over even its .50-caliber brethern, .50 GI.
-
- Taken with a slightly different perspective that the lead image for this gallery, the .50 BMG doesn’t quite overpower the .50 GI cartridges as much…but the difference is still impressive.
-
- The primer on the .50 BMG is wider than an entire .22 LR rimfire.
-
- There’s nothing worse than visiting Mardi Gras with your pals from the magazine, only to discover one of those friends over-indulged.
-
- We were able to drop 15 .22 LR cartridges into an empty .50 BMG casing.
-
- This side-by-side comparison of a .50 BMG compared to a .22 LR will give you an idea how big the cartridge really is.
-
- The .223 Rem. cartridge is dwared by the .50 BMG alongside.
-
- One of the flattest shooting cartridges available today, the .300 WSM, seems miniscule when compared to the .50 BMG.
-
- Even one of the most popular long-range cartridges, the .308, is dwarfed in this side-by-side comparison with the .50 BMG.

- Don’t expect to buy 20 packs or a brick of .50 BMG without a fork lift. Hornady’s 750-grain A-Max load comes in 10 packs.
