    50 Beowulf ammo

    Just order me up a 50 Beowulf upper and wanted to see how easy it is to find that kind of ammo

    Not...very...easy...

    Have you considered reloading? If not, have you considered a 2nd mortgage?

          Watch Cabellas as they have it occasionally, then reload the brass.

              I reload beo and don't know how anyone can afford to buy commercial.

              Good thing is, you wont shoot much of it since it kicks like a mule.

              I load 43gr of H110 behind a 300gr hornady ftx, with a win LPP.

                I have a Dillon 650 press and it seems that they don't have 50 beo dies or conversion kit. Any recommendations on what you guys what do?

                  Yeah, I load it on a 650, I bought a AK conversion kit and a 50AE/SW powder funnel. Also got an XL powder die. You will need to remove the case feeder tube, bushing, and lower tube thingy.

                  Feed brass in on the down stroke as the press is fully up.

                  Its kinda like having a $1100 550b...

                            Reloading is about quality control, quantity and anything else are side perks.

                            besides, 50B is straightwall, you can reload 100-150 an hour on a SS if you're good. how much do you ACTUALLY plan on shooting that thing.
