So, I'm new to this. I'm looking to get a nice big bore and I'm not sure where to start. What would you recommend for quality and reliability?
I did the same and went with the .457 I wanted a hard hitter but not happy with those.50 cal. slug prices. The .45 seemed like a good balance of hitting hard and able to get a larger selection of ammo and at lower prices compared to a .50cal.
What's your budget? People can point you in the right direction if they know what you're willing to spend.
And even they have had their share of issues. If it's man-made there will be a problem at some point no matter how much the gun cost. This applies for real firearms as well. I see a lot more happy AEA owners then not.. But, like someone once said, if you go into it thinking you're going to get a $1500 experience from a several hundred dollar price tag you're not well informed and will be dissatisfied.
I’m not about to pay $800+ for something made in China with slave labor and kids building them, etc for Pennie’s on a dollar, Same as I will never buy a saber tactical or donnyfl product ever again, to each his own.. I will never buy another aea product ever again, had one and it was the biggest piece of garbage
Not sure if a 235 grain .50 slug is more expensive than a 235 grain .45 is.
From what I've price .50 slugs was always higher price. Of course the brand and or reseller you buy all play a part. What I've found is a .50 slug (ones I've come across) are at or very close to $1 a slug and the .457 (at least the ones I've bought) are around the $0.70 cent or less a slug (.457 240gr NSA slugs box of 50 I paid $0.6198 a slug and that's including shipping. Cheaper If I would have bought straight from NSA's website which I now do). It's all relative to a persons needs. So, you know what you want your gun to do take it from there.Not sure if a 235 grain .50 slug is more expensive than a 235 grain .45 is.
Ofcourse if you buy the lightest .45 slugs vs the heaviest .50 slugs there is a price difference but else not so much.
