    is that the projectile? or the velocity of the gun's remains as it explodes?

    A discussion of 50-caliber benchrest cartridges would not be complete without mention of the largest of them all, the 50 FAT MAC. Developed by rifle maker Gale McMillan, the Fat Mac is made from a drastically altered 20mm Vulcan cannon case. The shoulder is pushed back to a 30° angle and the case trimmed to a length of 2.6" with a very short neck. The primer pocket is modified for installation of a stainless steel flash tube and a standard BMG primer. Whereas the 50 BMG Improved can launch a match bullet to 3000 feet per second, the Fat Mac will propel the same bullet in excess of 3400 fps.

    now neck that down to .17 and we will be talking...

    Toby this is no joke, it was actually the results of a lot of research, I believe the Guy started by necking up a 6.5x55 to .308 and it all just grew from there!
