.50BMG necked down to .338?

I'd take that 17-50 and Improve the shoulders even more. I think it probably could use another 30 or 40 grs. of powder.......

Be careful, I see a neck splitting here. I sure don't want 200gr of powder exploding in my face

we won't know for sure until we find a chronograph that registers above 9999 fps.

The first clue that the quoted article is a joke. Powder based systems can't exceed about 5000 fps.

We finally settled on a Swift atronomical reflecting telescope which will provide suitable magnification of ground squirrels at 3 miles. However, being a reflecting scope, it has it's drawbacks. The image is inverted and, with the eyepiece being near the front and at 90 degrees to the scope, it's a bit uncomfortable to hold and sight the rifle.

The most obvious clue this is a joke.

I highly doubt that it's a fake. Everything on the interweb is real..... And it's real cause it's on the interweb. Plus, the guy in the movie Wanted uses a telescope just fine!!!

A friend of mine has told me that one of his local buddies actually has a custom 338-50 BMG. I have not seen it myself. It did not seem very crazy to me when he brought it up. I'm sure it's not the only one out there.
