Sources of inexpensive 50 bmg components

[Smithers]

So I put down some money to buy a Bohica and now I'm on the look out for reloading components for the .50 bmg (dtc).

I looked at Midwayusa, but the prices on the bullets where much higher than I thought. I'll be shooting this at Angeles, so I can't use steel core ammo. What are my options? Where can I find some inexpensive 50 bmg bullets, cases and primers?

Secondly, I was thinking about purchasing an ammomaster 2 with CH4D dies to reload. What do you guys use to reload your 50 bmg?

Thanks.

I remember places like hitechammo and wideners having good deals on IMR 5010 and other BMG powders. They used to have it for under $40 per 8 lbs. Don't know what its running now.

The Ammomaster II and CH4D '.510DTC-EDM' die set will work great.
If you want to wait another 6mo. to start, I'll be ordering a batch of custom die sets for the Lee 'Classic' press too.

Primers are scarce right now, but most vendors say they'll be restocked in February. (Powder Valley sells primed WCC brass if you can't wait)

The usual places I deal with:

Isn't all the .50 BMG ball ammo steel core? Wouldn't a bullet that big with a lead core would weigh well over 1000 grains?

[weezil_boi]

would any of you guys be interested in trading for some .50 bmg brass?

I was told they are worth $1.75 each?? ( Lake City once fired)

I have a guy that wants to trade 44 of them to me and I could set something up if one of you is interested. I am in the sacramento area.

Please PM me if you are interested. I need to get some .45 ammo also.

brassman has them for .80 cents each

Once fired MG brass is going for about .50 a piece. I just saw some one fired from a bolt gun go for about .75 each. I know someone willing to sell some primed, unfired, TZZ for about $2 each. But, that stuff is a rare as hens teeth.
