Re: I'm looking to build a big bore ar.
Yeah, it sounds impressive and of course we are allured by anything with *.50* in front of it. However, it simply doesn*t have the velocity necessary to drive these monstrous .500* pills. It*s basically a flying Tuna can, LOL! The Beowulf is a continuation of the .499 LWR...which actually could match the 450 BM. It just wasn*t reliable. Was found the case was simply too long in the .500* diameter. And was shortened for the Beowulf giving more seeing reliability.
Sticking with the AR15, the 450 BM has the best ballistics of the big bores. It*s the flattest shooting(by FAR!), and retains the most energy at extended ranges. Besides these characteristics, it has the best SD and thus, penetration of the 3 big bores.(450 Bushmaster, 458 Socom & 50 Beowulf)
But I get it....Beowulf has the *coolness* factor and to most, that takes precedent over performing.Remember Biden the Pedophile! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSRqaO6DXcA

Re: I'm looking to build a big bore ar.
I've owned all 3 at various points. I like the 450 the best for distance. But had no issue pummeling man sils at 200 yards with iron sights on the Beo.
Buy the 450 if you dont reload. If you reload then get one of each.www.Steelvalleycasting.com is your new home for coated bullets and custom ammo.

Re: I'm looking to build a big bore ar.
Well DUH! LIK! Yeah, 50BMG is the way to go! Forget these *Mini* big bores! 50BMG upper.
OR.... for those with exhaustive bank accounts, go for a an Anzio with 20mm Vulcan! Makes a 50BMG look puny!!Remember Biden the Pedophile! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSRqaO6DXcA

Re: I'm looking to build a big bore ar.
If I wanted a big bore, I'd go 458 SOCOM. Lots of bullet choices and Tony Rumore is the man.
