I have the 15inch 50 cal Meg.
www.midsouthshooterssupply.com I don’t see why anyone would not want a more powerful rifle. The purpose for the meglodon is to be competitive with a firearm. I love these rifles!
It depends what you are doing with it, i Shoot my 50 cal Meg for fun. foot pounds =penetration and expansion. It only takes one shot.
Different strokes for different folks. Not everyone has the same goal or use for airguns. These certainly have their place and are still way cheaper to shoot than many large caliber centerfire weapons with ammo that costs dollars per shot.
While I do enjoy seeing companies push the envelope of what can be done with air, at the same time I'm thinking that for a few hundred bucks I could buy a 12 gauge shotgun or a bolt action Savage that will outperform its air powered competition in nearly every way.
Not everyone has the option to go out and buy whatever they want where it comes to firearms. It’s seems like no one considers those that are prohibited from owning firearms. There are more people than you might imagine that have that issue. Then there are those that intend to hunt with air powered weapons for the same reason some people use a bow. If I were to purchase a regulated small caliber air rifle, a pcp, I would be bored to tears with it in 2 weeks. It would hang on the wall or in my safe after that and probably be given away to one of the kids or just set there. It very much depends on the individual as to what their reasons are for wanting air powered weapons.
Giant lead BB’s, I just received 3 boxes of the hornady .495 round balls. I got the 22 inch version. Those round balls preform better than I expected. I shot a 5 gallon bucket of water and it went through it from 25 yards. im going to try those slugs you mentioned.
Hornady round lead ball ammo .495 for 50 cal Megalodon, shoots great and it’s less than 12 dollars per 100 balls. You can make a trap and melt the balls to cast slugs as well. That’s cheap enough. You can get set up to cast your own fairly low cost also. The lead balls will bust cinder blocks and make a 5 gallon bucket of water explode. More than enough power for sure. They go all the way through the buckets of water. They could easily be the exclusive ammo for the rifle if you didn’t want to use slugs.
I order my stuff from Mr. Hollow point and AEA recommends texoma I think is the name of the place. I ordered a 457 and was shipped a 50 cal by mistake. The place that screwed up sent me 100 -235 grain hollow points from the Tacoma place and I got them in my mail box 3 days later. Aside from that you can get .495 round lead balls made for muzzle loaders from Hornady. Those are 12 dollars per 100 shots , that’s like 12 cents a piece and they preform great in the rifle. They can’t shoot their 22’s and 25’s that cheap. Catch those in something and they could be melted down and recast into slugs. Air Venturi also makes a .495 185 grain hollow point that does good for 26 dollars for 50 of the pellets, those are more like a wierd pellet rather than a slug. But they shoot pretty good. I like plinking with the Hornady round balls , they cycle through the mag perfectly. Bluegrass bigbore might have spare mags.
