I don't think it's offered anymore. It was not a bad idea for the behemoth gun. The idea was said to give less recoil and flatter trajectory compared to the .50. You can actually drop a .429 GNR cartridge down into a .50 AE brass. LOTS bigger. But surprisingly the .429 GNR revolvers that Gary built are not really behind in performance when compared and offer a whole bunch more versatility. (BTW the .50 Beowulf is the same as the .50 AE, just a longer case)
The Big .50 AE has a .44 Magnum rim diameter and with one gun you can convert them from .44 Mag., to .429 AE, to .50 AE with only barrel and mag swaps. Cost though runs $500 and up for a barrel, mags are not cheap either.
Roman has a .50 (he just HAD to get one) and it's interesting, BIG, heavy, and expensive to shoot. But even people who know nothing about guns know it on sight. I guess the movies...
Benj, Roman's little bro., sent Roman (who was at work) this pic of him Coon-fingering said Bro. gun that came in. BEFORE he got to look it over. Hence the SEG. lol
