    Barrel life on the Truvelo 50 cal is supposed to be about 2 000 rounds with FMJ. We will be running 400 rounds a month through the gun every month from next month. If we can push barrel life over 10 000 rounds we'll be very happy.

    I'll report back.

    BTW... the 'bullet' will weigh 950 grains!
    Sounds interesting, Paul. Please keep us posted (with pics)!

    Will do. We're hugely excited about this.

    The BIG (see what I did there?) impediment to 50 cal shooting is the horrendous cost of ammo... largely, but not solely, centered on the bullet. A Lapua 750gn FMJ at wholesale costs R76 (incl VAT). PMP used to sell 650gn FMJs for something like R25 each, but since they are end-of-life those bullets are NLA. Estimates are that these 950gn Big Blue Bullets will cost between R5 and R7 each!

    Don't even ask what a Dillon semi-progressive for 50 BMG costs...
