Talk:.50 Action Express

message: There is a lot that someone with the time could write for the "popular culture" section. There are many, many computer games which feature the Desert Eagle and the .50 Action Express. There are plenty of movies which feature it too. --203.23.157.70 13:35, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

message: "It is not uncommon for spent casings to fly up and over partitions/dividers in indoor shooting ranges, often traveling several feet at a time, and the firing can be heard through both earplugs and cup-style ear protection, even when used simultaneously. For these reasons, the .50 AE is not a cartridge for the beginner or novice."
Uhm.... I can hear .22s through earplugs and "cup-style ear protection" worn together.  And .22 casings also fly "several feet."  I have no doubt that the .50 AE is very loud and powerful and generally not the best choice for someone firing a gun for the first time.  But this text isn't encyclopedia grade writing.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.13.171.42 (talk) 17:32, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Are there any references to back up the "50 Magnum" designation?  I haven't found anything, and am wondering if this is common parlance, or any form of official designation?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lagaman (talk • contribs) 21:57, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

message: My Speer reloading manual gives some different dimension for the case. Are the authoritative dimensions available online? (I can't find them, so far.) Who is the authority for this cartridge?
My thinking is that even a page as short and sweet as this one currently is can give a reader some assistance with reloading. In particular I showed up here looking for inner diameter of the case mouth - something the reloading manual did not provide.
I'm willing to fix this all up and document my work if someone can point me to an authoritative and comprehensive source of cartridge information and dimensions.
