  • Making dinosaur ammo? 3rd video in a 3 part video series about making subsonic 880 gr. ammo for my 50 Alaskan Encore. This video shows the "unloading" of the ammo as well as a short unscientific experiment with half frozen water filled milk jugs.
    Equipment Used:
    -Thompson Center Encore SBR (registered short barreled rifle)
    -Bowers VERS50 .50 cal suppressor (love that thing!)
    -Vortex Sparc II red dot sight (Vortex warranty... you know, in case I rattle my optics to pieces--I'm covered)
    -Google Pixel XL and Iphone6?
    -And........... Cabelas fleece lined jeans, you know, for those cold days when you still want to go out to the mountains to shoot.
    Music:

      Could you shoot at a soft target at 100 yards twice and put the camera down at the target for the first shot?
      For the second shot you could place the camera at 50 yards, right next to the line of fire, but this time have the camera facing you, so we can see and hear the bullet flying by? Just don't shoot the camera ;)

    • @FullLeadTaco
      @FullLeadTaco  7 лет назад

      I wonder if the camera will pick up the sound of the bullet whizzing by.

      Load a 750 gr 50 BMG bullet in it and see if you can shoot a 2" circle at 200 m

    I love the train sounds in the background - those bullets hit like a freight train.

      It sure is, never thought they could penetrate as much as they do with such a slow speed.

    How dirty does your suppressor get from the hardcast lead and Trail Boss/Unique powders?

    • @FullLeadTaco
      @FullLeadTaco  4 года назад

      Just normal carbon fouling like you'd see in a pistol can

    Do you think it'd be possible to load a jacketed spitzer 50 BMG bullet into one of these cases?

    awesome! what twist rate is that barrel? i believe 1:20 is standard.

    • @FullLeadTaco
      @FullLeadTaco  7 лет назад

      +duffys gunsmithing I chose to go with a 14 twist for that barrel. It stabilizes those bullets fine at the speeds I wanted.
