The 50 is nice but few places here in Canada will allow you to shoot it here... ranges are not long enough
The .50 Beowulf is not a long range cartridge, it pushes 335 grains of half inch diameter lead at 2000 FPS coming out of the muzzle and it starts dropping pretty fast at distances past 300 Yds. Technically most ranges around here will not allow .50 caliber rifles either, but they are referring to .50 BMG, I have shot the Beo at all the public ranges around with no problems.
T19 Thats a nice old FAL you have there, I have the Austrian STG58 version and I like it alot. FAL's are cool but you really can put alot more rounds on target with an AR that weighs half as much and is more accurate, whether it is .223 or .50 Beo. I know.....I did'nt used to be a big fan of .223 untill I was in the Marines and shot the M16 alot, it really is hard to beat!
If one of you Brits will bring me a Dursley Lister, I will take a weeks vacation and let you take out as many pigs as you want with the .50 Beowulf. Hell, you can shoot anything that is in my 50 cubic foot gun safe till you are blue in the face for a nice SOM unit
