Well, I've got to get set up to reload the .50s, anyway.
As much as I like to shoot the Barrett, I can't afford the ammo, even at $2.00 a round off the Internet, and I sure can't afford match ammo at $4.50 a round!
I figure I can reload for less than a buck a round and make shooting a lot easier on the pocketbook.
That's the reason I was thinking about a .50 caliber belt fed.
I can probably stretch my budget to 15k if I see something I really like.

Well, there IS an alternative to the .50 Browning. Ammo runs around $2/shot, but it too can be reloaded, or the guns can be converted to take the .50x99mm M2 Browning round....

Let me know if you're interested...there's an on-line gathering place for those so inclined.
