825gr bullets in 50 BMG

[cowboybart]

I have a quantity of M48-A1 bullets from the stubby 50 SpotterTracer round. I want to load these in a 50 BMG case for use in both a single shot bolt gun and an M2 machine gun. They vary in weight, 820-825grs. I have WC 860 and WC 872 powder on hand. Guessing OAL in the belt fed is critical. Not so much in the bolt as long as I don't jam the lands. Any input would be appreciated.

I’m jealous and sure do miss my “Fifty”! Not sure on load info but the M2 will require a min spec to cycle properly. Never got around to loading for mine before it was banned from my local club.

I feel for you guys that have to shoot at a club. I can only go to 200 on my property, but 4-5 miles away I'm on public land and can shoot to 2700 yards. I should say there is 2700 yards that the rangefinder will ping on. If I get within 10' of the 2700 yard rock, I call that success.
