Why not ".308" the .50 BMG or has that already been proposed?
I know it wouldn't satisfy the "magnumize or nothing" crowd, but to my mind it would be more efficient, allow the use of the .50 BMG parent case as a base for the new round, give nearly as good performance with the lower projectile weights and beat the PRK as*%oles. The performance of the round should be in the same area as the .50 Peacekeeper(or a bit better) without having to deal with the PITA belted brass.
Additionally, all the current .50 BMG designs should be able to be altered/converted with little trouble(relatively compared to most other alternatives), using almost all currently used components(mags, barrels,etc.).
I know I'd want one, but then I also would like a .50 BMG to start with.
