Considering I've fired ~2500 rounds through this barrel, it's holding it's own for sure. Maximum fire power with lots of barrel life. No need for a specialized barrel burner.
225 grains of H 50BMG, CCI 35 primers, LC brass, 750 grain A Max.
Showing a lot of promise as I was able to connect @ 1245 yards right away. Next will be to verify my drop @ 1760 and I'm GTG.
Out of my 24" Barrett they are going a sedate 2525fps which keeps them supersonic to about 2400 yards.
Bottom picture is a few 50BMGs loaded with the 750 A Max and a 338 Lapua for size comparison.

Most of us are only joking when we say we need a truck load of powder but with the way those big dogs gobble up powder, 2500 rounds has to be somewhere in excess of 70+ pounds and when you say it, you mean it literally. :tup:

I keep telling myself I'm going to buy the next BMG that passes by at a decent price.

How can you possibly see that little orange dot at 1250? I have an eye appt tomorrow & I want to get some shooting glasses so I can just see the reticle. heh heh. Nice shooting Tex
Maybe the dot was added later?

My understanding is that the group was shot at closer range while doing load work, then the 1250 shot came later.

The group is 1" C-C. The .510 holes make the group look smaller. :-)
