Owners of semi-automatic and belt-fed 50 caliber rifles need ammunition in a format that matches their gun, and this PMC load comes already linked in a military-style can. This listing is PMC 50 BMG 660 grain full metal jacket boat tail ammo, MPN 50A M/B, sold as 100 linked rounds in an M2A1 ammo can.
This load is listed at 3,080 fps with 13,688 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The 660 grain FMJ boat tail is the standard ball weight for the 50 BMG and is designed for long-range target shooting and steel plates at extreme distances. The boat tail helps the heavy bullet retain velocity and resist wind drift. It is a range and target load, not a hunting load, and the energy it carries calls for a backstop and range designed for 50 caliber rifles.
This ammunition fits firearms chambered in 50 BMG, also called 12.7x99mm NATO, including the Barrett M82 and M107, Barrett M99, Serbu BFG-50, ArmaLite AR-50, Bushmaster BA50, and belt-fed M2 pattern guns. A common question is whether linked rounds can be used in a bolt-action or magazine-fed rifle. Yes, but the rounds must first be removed from the links, which is easily done by hand or with a delinking tool. Another common question is whether 50 BMG rifles and ammunition are legal everywhere. They are not. Some states and localities restrict 50 BMG rifles or ammunition, so check your state and local laws before ordering.
PMC 50A M/B is new production ammunition, not reloads, loaded in South Korea by PMC. It uses brass cases with boxer primers and is non-corrosive. This listing ships as 100 rounds linked and packed in an M2A1 metal ammo can, which seals against moisture and makes a sturdy storage box after the ammunition is gone. One lot keeps your long-range dope consistent from the first shot to the last.
