At $3-4 a round it does get a little spendy to shoot tho. They are much cheaper in bulk: https://www.wikiarms.com/group/50BMG I saw one at 2 bucks and some between 2 and 3 but most is 3 or more. Top of the box is over $8.50 a round. Considering an M2 is between 450 and ~600 RPM, that is a lot of money going down range pretty fast. |

I haven't looked recently but M2s were going for about as much as a big outboard (see what I did, boat reference) a year or two ago. |

I have heard that the M85 wasn't as reliable as the M2 and they use M2s on the Abrams. Dunno, that is all after my time. We had M2's removed from WWII aircraft (fast shooting, skinny barrel) on our cutters. We had to be careful not to burn them up. The GMC did slow them back down to the 400 RPM rate tho. (maybe even less than that). |

Don't know what they have on the Abrams. |

Top of the box is over $8.50 a round. Considering an M2 is between 450 and ~600 RPM, that is a lot of money going down range pretty fast. I don't have a .50 BMG but it's on my list. A bolt action - not a semi-auto. My most expensive gun to shoot is my Barrett MRAD in .338 Lapua Magnum. I fire match ammo, that costs a bit more, but a typical outing is only 20-40 rounds. The challenge is dialing it in for the conditions that day and hitting a 30" diameter steel target at 1000 yards a few times. A .50 BMG would serve the same purpose. |
