50 BMG bullets are .510, you'll have serious pressure issues sending them down a .500 pipe. The .500 S&W, .50 AE, and Beowulf all have true .500 bores to meet the "destructive device" compliant regulations.
You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt
