HEK NO U COUDENT GIVE THAT THING NO WAY FRAMES TO LIGHT..

Big Kahuna Raptor is great video Jim.

Off topic, lol…..was that a dog running around in the background @ 12:27 ? Pretty cool upper if i could shoot it anywhere here. Banned even at our 600 meter range.

2.25 boxes of paper

Whatever you use to record the sound picked up that fifty real good… didnt realise how loud i had my headphones…

AT $5000 AND $11.00 A ROUND 3RD BOX /500$

Every ream has two additional pages for the cover of the ream

Guy doesn't know that the reams of paper are stacked side by side and over calculated the number of pages per box.

You will love that discovery optics I have bought four of em and they are amazing

I turned 40 this year too. Bought myself a .308 CZ 600 Range to celebrate.

One ream plus 30 sheets..50 BMG

Take both on an elk hunter

Plus the cardboard density of the boxes on the top and bottom and the paper wrap that holds the reams of paper.

Thats fairly impressive, just south of 4000sheets of paper . Also one can consider in the box tops and bottoms. So perhaps 4100ish. But anyrate pretty fairly impressive

What length of barrel were you using?

2254 Pages for the 50

What brand is the 50 bmg upper?

I remember back when those came out back in the late 1990's and I was impressed with them but not enough to buy one.

The AR-15 being called the 'most powerful rifle' is a classic example of media misrepresentation. It’s a versatile platform, but let’s be real—compared to a .50 BMG or an elephant gun, it's not even close

Is it the 30 or 36 inch upper?

4000 piece of paper

Scope needs to be on Mils

I have the Safety Harbor variant on a dedicated single-shot AR lower. Doesn’t group fantastic, even with match ammo. But sure fun to shoot! Highly recommended!!

Hornady won't chamber because they're quality is slipping

I would never buy a 50bmg if its a great price,
The price of ammo isn't worth it.

4200

Yup, when the world is heading to the toilet, gold goes up.

Just starting video I’m going with 3462 sheets.

3000 sheets– to the wind!

i love discovery optics. ran the 5-25 prs ed on my 338 lapua out to 2911 yards in elr competition.

You should have used the Hornady DGS solid instead of the DGX expanding. I probably would have gone much deeper into the paper.

The lower on the 50 cal looks more like an H&K PSG1

I’m a Canadian and even I know that 50 cal has no buffer. It’s a bolt action for one so it doesn’t cycle and the bolt goes into the empty buffer tube when you open it. As far as saying the most powerful caliber is a AR is a bit of a stretch the contribution of the AR is little more then a trigger and something to bolt the action into, a vice would serve the same purpose. That’s some straight up click bait.

4000 sheets with the 50bmg

Are you going to dump sand in the action? Oh ya only on guns you want to toss in the air

I have a challenge for you: can you build a 7 mm PRC from scratch more accurate than the mountain reaper and/or the SIG cross sawtooth for less money? Both must have folding stocks and be sub $2500. If so I will buy it!! Would love to see some actual builds from you. Especially as detailed as you are, this could be a great topic to cover. Separately would love to see a channel built and spun off by you regarding reloading specifically for Hunting love the channel thanks for what you do – family friendly, and enjoyable.

The 50 went through the first 2 boxes and out the right side of the 3rd box

Through 1, stick in 2

Hey Jim…
Enjoy your channel! As one of the first members of the Fifty Caliber Shooters Association…I strongly recommend that you use both plugs and muffs… and even that won't eliminate a risk of hearing loss. Obviously, the barrel length matters when it comes to muzzle brakes. The shorter the barrel the more efficient the brake becomes due to the shape of the pressure-time curve. But even with the longer barrels the muzzle pressure will be high enough to need both. Unless you use bullets with the same profiles or shapes, (i.e.- flat, truncated or round nosed
projectiles)…the spitzer shaped projectiles will invariably tumble depending upon how and when the
nose tip (or penetrator) deforms or embeds in the target. Obviously, this applies to all projectiles that are designed to deform which are dependent upon the various variables like projectile l/d ratio, construction, impact velocities and projectile composition. A well made solid like those that were made by Woodleigh in Australia would out penetrate the monolithic solids offered by A-Square and Barnes. When fired at ~ the same velocity to that of the monolithic solids, the Woodleigh fmj's would out penetrate the monolithics by about
20% at energies between ~ 12,000 to 18,000 fpe! Over ~ 3,200 fps the
monolithics would start to undergo
some degree of mushrooming at the nose of the projectile. The only failure that I ever experienced with the Woodleigh's was with a 900 grain .600 Nitro that was driven much faster than normal in a special run of high strength brass (65,000+ psi) that A-Square made for me. The muzzle energy in those was creeping into the low 16,000 fpe (versus an absolute ceiling of 17,500+ with 40"-45" barreled .50 BMG's)! The barrel length of the .600 Nitro was 32". The limit on the .50 BMG was due to pressure which was beyond what could be used in a normal firearm. Where as the limits for the .600 were due to running out of capacity. In almost every loading you could tip the gun up and the cases would fall out!
With regards to your video it appeared that the rounds that you were using were the Hornady A-max's which are somewhat frangible and weigh in at 750 grains… unless someone else is making a 660 grain with a windscreen or nose tip like the A-max. Also, the recovered projectile looked consistent with the A-max. Lastly, you may have to reload for the .50 BMG or order from a custom reloading outfit… which I think that you could find via FC Shooters (Jim Schmidt if memory serves me). Sorry about the length of this… and hope that it's a help. Take care and keep your powder dry!

1700 sheets

Love the vids matey xden

Ever shot a 25mm rifle?

795 sheets of paper

Why on earth would anyone give elephants guns
