One of the forum members found this link showing another 50 BME rifle that sold back in 2017. The listing said it came with 2 sets of Hornady dies. I called Hornady and they confirmed that they made the dies. They said the caliber was 50 BRIGHT MOUNTAIN EXPRESS. - 50 BME. They said they also made form dies that used the 338 Lapua case as the parent cartridge. Apparently shortened at the shoulder to 2.195" and opened to hold a .500 dia bullet. They said they could make me the same 50 BME loading dies for $265 with a 4 - 6 month delivery. I will wait to get the rifle in hand to confirm all this info. https://www.rockislandauction.com/detail/1028/635/two-bolt-action-sporting-rifles How to Hunt Wisconsin Whitetail Deer with a Cannon

OP buckstix Sidelock Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 894 Likes: 144 Whitetail Country	Well, dies are ordered - 5-6 month delivery. I have 338 Lapua brass and .500 dia bullets coming. I bought some 338 Lapua ammo and made a single cartridge to see how it would look. I added a Karl Kaps Asslar/Wetzlar Ziellux 2.5x. German scope that I had laying around. Looks good. https://www.africahunting.com/attachments/50bme-cartridge-jpg.794583/ https://www.africahunting.com/attachments/50bme-scope-jpg.794582/ How to Hunt Wisconsin Whitetail Deer with a Cannon
