.50/20 Rifle Project – reamers/gauges
Pic of cartridges – left to right, .50/20 Oscar, .50 BMG, .50 T. W. The first and third are based on the semi-readily-available, 20 mm, Vulcan cartridge case.
Reamers and gauges (including a non-exclusive, non-commercial, right to the “.50/20 Oscar” design (reamer print); reamer print only for the “.50 T. W.”, not my design, unrestricted to me):
”.50/20 Oscar” – (1) removable-pilot rough and (1) finish reamer, both carbide and Inferno coated; (1) Go and (1) No-Go gauge; all by Pacific Tool and Gauge/PTG, new, never used - $350, shipped and insured
”.50 T. W.” – (1) removable-pilot finish and (1) resize reamer, HSS, by JGS; (1) Go and (1) No-Go gauge, by Pacific Tool and Gauge/PTG; reamers used very lightly by designer/original owner, gauges are new, never used - $450, shipped and insured
No confirmed “performance data” are available for either cartridge in this or any other base configuration. The fellow I purchased the .50 T.W. reamers from claimed over 4000 fps from a 45” barrel using 800 grain bullets – I have nothing to confirm or dispute that claim. I will point the buyer to a source of very slow burning powder. Purchaser/reloader – as always, proceed with CAUTION!
Why I’m selling – I’m too old and too weak to pursue.
Prices – fully insured for sale price; payment by personal check or money order only, no wire transfers or PayPal/similar services.
Please address detail questions to webmaster at elr-resources.com.
Thanks for considering purchase of this excellent gear.
