A vender from Alexander arms was at the Sinterfire law enforcement shoot a couple of years ago. Sinterfire did a presentation showing how their rounds did not recochet when they struck a hard surface vs. other major brands (gold dots, cor bon etc..). They also had blocks of ballistic gelatin that they were shooting with their frangible duty round, to show their performance. These were large blocks of gelatin, so you could see no movement when the blocks were shot with any of the handgun rounds. When shot with their 12 guage slug you could notice a slight quiver when the block was struck. When they shot it with the 50 beowolf the block of gelatin flew off the metal stand onto the ground a few feet back.:shock:
The guy doing the shooting held up the block and it was spit in half at the back end and the entire thing seemed like one massive wound cavity.
They also allowed anyone who wanted, to fire 5 rounds of the 50 Beowolf. When they started taking questions the first one asked was "whats the recoil like with that 50 cal?". The vendor's answer was "like a 20 guage, without the brake on it, with the brake about half that". At that point they ended the presentation and everyone lined up to get their try at the 50 beowolf. Waiting in line I could feel the muzzle blast of the people firing ahead of me, and I thought to myself "half of a 20 guage my ass". When it was my turn the first shot I just leaned into it like I was shooting a 3 1/2 inch mag, but the recoil was what they had claimed. The next 4 rounds I fired in a pair of double taps and it was easily controlled. It's a good thing I didn't have 700 dollars or whatever it was they were selling their uppers for cause I would have bought it.
I was very impressed with the 50 beowolf's performance but I never picked one up later because of the cost of the ammo. Once I start reloading I'll have to give it a second look.
