When people think about the .50 BMG round, most minds go to heavy belt-fed weapons. It is a trusted and effective round in those platforms, but has also been used in a lesser-known capacity. For decades, people have been harnessing the power of the 50 as a long-range round. In fact, it has a substantial following in the precision shooting community. With serious rifles chambered for this beast, like the McMillan TAC-50, it has proven to be an effective long-range round. Now Barrett is offering these shooters Barrett precision ammunition in .50 BMG.
