50 Cal ammo

I guess there are a few of us in my area that shoot .50 so there's usually a few boxes at the few stores around me. I just have trouble swallowing $4 a round when I can make my own with all new components for 80% of the cost

You mean 80% LOWER cost I hope... not $3.20/round. :)

I can't believe that factory .50AE is running $4 per shot!!!! Crap you can almost buy .50BMG for that price!!!
 
can buy local @40 for 20 rds. I reload although getting boolits is getting difficult, will be casting my own soon as i can get a mold. Wish you good luck

i have phoned everyone in ab that i know and no luck, shooting edge i left a msg with cause no answer from gun/ammo counter

Yes, correct, I was at work and got interrupted a few times during that post... 80% less than retail

I shoot .500S&W which is a bigger and badder 50cal than 50AE and .500S&W retails for $68.99/box of 20 around here
 
P&D sells Hornady at $28 for 20. I bought some off Whole Sale Sports for $29 for 20.

This was Oct I bought at these prices so maybe they have gone up a little.

I've heard that cast boolits aren't recomended for the Desert Eagle. The port for the gas system is right close to the chamber and very tiny. The problem, as I understand it, is that a leading problem in a deagle's gas port will cause you to have a very bad day.
