Well, I used to be right there with you thinking the same thing, until I found out about the .500 Phantom. Now the .500 Phantom upper from Teppo-Jutsu will *definitely* be my next firearm acquistion. Does everything the .50 Beowulf does, with appropriate handloads, AND a lot more should you want it to. But you need an AR10 lower or DPMS .308 lower.

Click on .500 Phantom - the ghost from the machine - You can make it subsonic and suppress it, or go full blown for more than .50 alaskan ballistics, or anywhere in between!

I have a 50 Beowulf. It has been flawless thru about 200 rnds. It attaches to any milspec lower. It is a devistating round. I thought about selling it and getting a 308, as ammo is very expensive.
