Pfff. What about a .17/50bmg

 

[dizzy dan 1]

I read an article on the 17/50 a few years ago,& i think you only get to fire 20 rnds then the barrel is burnt out.DAN>>>

Words cannot express how incredibly pointless that is.

More than enough barrel life for proper load development

Looks pretty pointy to me

Put a 50 inch barrel on it, just imagine the velocity, once you burn out the throat in 20 rounds, cut off the chamber, run the reamer back in, presto, 20 more rounds.

what ground hog? but really whats the purpose and wouldn't the bullet disintegrate?

 

[outoftowner]

I'm guessing due to the enormous pressure going out of that little hole that the cases aren't re-usable?

 

[Darklen]

Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Wouldn't the bullet disintegrate shortly after leaving the barrel?

Load data: 245 gr of damp mattress stuffing. Reeeaaal slooow.

Looks like some varminter's attempt to break warp 8 to me.

20 gr. round of .17 hmr at mach 9 (aprox. 10 000 fps) = ..... vaporized gophers

The 17 x 50 is cute but it's a fake

You can see where the body was cut off and the lathe turned neck and shoulder set in.

Looks more like a bomb than a viable cartridge.

No problem. Just use a custom 100gr bullet. Think of the sectional density.
