Spotter Tracer A quick treatise on the often-discussed Spotter Tracer. Tim's 50 BMG Shooting Page Another hobbyist page! Now it's like a competition... Tim either has some spendy web design software or is much, much better at this HTML stuff than I.

.50 BMG pictorial at the moment a set of pictures of various .50BMG rifles. More to come?

Ken Light Manufacturing In addition to some odd Metallic Silhouette stuff, KLM makes a case annealer for .50 BMG that I know I need. (Just gotta convince the wife ;-) )

K&M: They don't have a website, but I include them here because I think it's a disservice to the .50 shooter not to. They are excellent to deal with, and make a few .50 tools that are available no where else (to my knowledge.)

RCBS Reloading

Russ Haydon's Shooters' Supply

River Valley Ordnance Components, some unusual, and large machines...

Sinclair International A great company for the benchrest and High Power shooter, there's plenty here for any accuracy buff. The Sinclair reloading manual belongs on every accuracy minded reloaders shelf, but is seemingly out of print every-other year. When they're available, snatch one up. At ~$14.00, they're the best deal in the game!
