50 Cal Ammo

Most people go plinking with empty cans. You, on the other hand, like the ideal human specimen that you are, prefer plinking with empty steel drums and junk cars. You like to go big, which is why you like the 50 BMG.

This is the same kind of ammunition you would find at Fort Benning. It is the U.S. Army’s own M33, with a standard weight 660 grain FMJ bullet. Loaded to a muzzle velocity of 2,910 fps, it carries 12,408 ft lbs of energy at the muzzle. (About 177 times more powerful than a 22 Short, to put things in context.) The bullet’s gilding metal jacket inhibits terminal expansion, but its mild steel core fortifies it for clean passage through barriers as substantial as brick and concrete. Point is, a 50 BMG can tackle pretty much anything you’d ask it to outside of a rifle range.

This is brand new ammo from the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant in Missouri. It includes reloadable brass cases, non-corrosive primers, and clean-burning propellant. The U.S. government’s primary small arms ammo supplier isn’t all that concerned with store packaging, so these 50 rounds come together loose in a brown cardboard box.

If you want consistency and outstanding power from your .50 BMG cartridges, order this 200-round case from PMC, a leading company for elite training ammunition. You’ll get rounds that use meticulous engineering and quality control to ensure excellent speed and unprecedented power. Thanks to the full metal jacket boat tail projectile, these rounds feed smoothly and leave less fouling in the barrel.

When you fire these .50 BMG cartridges, you’ll have a muzzle speed of 3,080 feet per second. That’s pretty impressive, but it’s the 13,688 foot pounds of energy from the 660-grain bullet that makes these bullets truly exceptional. With a boat tail, the powerful rounds will have excellent accuracy and tight grouping, even at distances well beyond 500 yards.

PMC makes some of the most consistent and reliable training and sporting ammunition in the country. They create military-spec cartridges that are trusted by gun owners from coast to coast.
