Otherwise I just do not break out my 50 and use a 300 win mag. My next purchase is a 6.5 because of it distance/accuracy.
If you are not worried about consistency/accuracy then buy belt fed or delinked 50 for cheap - maybe $2-4 a round but realize the grain is intentionally not the same in each round thus your grouping is not going to be good - not because of the shooter but the bullets are intentionally made to NOT him the target in the same place.
Also not with a Barrett 50 - at only 1,300 yards last weekend I could only get a 24 inch grouping because the Barrett is not extremely accurate. BUT with a McMillan Tac 50 within minutes of shooting the Barrett prone I shot my McMillan prone and same windage calls and had only a 16 inch grouping - huge difference from hitting and missing your target (this is with dealing with some consistent wind).

I don't usually go bargain hunting for ammo I don't have a rifle for. Biggest I have takes M2 ball.
But thanks for the clarification
