This expert guide, presented by Serbu Firearms owner Mark Serbu, details the legal classification and ballistics of the compact Micro 50 BMG. It covers the rationale behind its SBR registration under the NFA, potential legal pitfalls related to ammunition bans, and impressive ballistics achieved with its short barrel. The guide also touches on the practical aspects of its intense muzzle blast and visual impact.

This analysis from Mark Serbu, owner and lead designer of Serbu Firearms, details the catastrophic failure of the RN-50. The primary cause identified is the use of fast-burning pistol powder instead of the appropriate slow-burning .50 BMG rifle powder. Serbu uses ballistics software to illustrate how incorrect powder choice leads to extreme pressure spikes far exceeding safe limits, emphasizing the difference between failsafe design and absolute fail-proof protection against misuse.

This video demonstrates the use of primer pocket plugs from 21st Century Shooting to accurately measure cartridge case capacity. By plugging the primer pocket, reloaders can fill cases with water after tumbling and cleaning, leading to more precise case capacity measurements. This data can then be used for sorting brass or inputting into ballistic software like QuickLOAD for improved load development accuracy.

This video details the process of duplicating the Mk 262 Mod 1 ammunition, using factory Black Hills 77gr OTM as a benchmark. Expert Johnny provides a methodical approach, starting with baseline testing of factory rounds for accuracy and velocity. He emphasizes safety, component analysis, and the use of ballistics software like QuickLOAD to select appropriate reloading components and powders for achieving military-grade performance. The guide covers historical context, cost analysis, and detailed component inspection.
