I have an opportunity to grab an AR chambered in this round. A google search turned up some info. Not too helpful as far as reviews. I'm assuming its like the .50 Beowulf. I'm looking for personal experience from the members. Also, how hard is it to obtain ammo? Didn't find much available on the web....

I'm guessing you plan on loading all your own ammo?

Silver State Armory (SSA) used to sell .499 loaded ammo, but they don't have it on their website anymore.

Well, I didn't plan on reloading. But the more I learn about the .499, it seems that reloading is the only option. :(

I don't reload right now, so I wouldn't consider it as much of an option. Heck, if you can't find it online its not a very popular caliber....
