Where to shoot .50 BMG near Denver?

[MrWhiteRabbit]

How far are you trying to shoot?

That’s a great question. I was on the steel at 300 yards (longest range I had regular access to at the old homestead) with both .308 and .50 the last time I took them out, about 5 years ago. Then they went into storage and I went overseas for a few years. Now that I’m back, retrieved the toys, and am relocating to Denver, I’ll have to rebuild all the dope and knowledge that’s faded between then and now. So to answer your question, I’ll have to take a moment to reacquaint myself and get them zeroed again, but I’d like to start working out past 300yd. 1k is aspirational at the moment, but it’s going to be a while before I’m out that far.

Sounds realistic. I was just curious.

Can we dispense with the short names. I have no idea what y'all are talking about and I though I knew the area.

BLGC ?
NVM ?

Thank you and please carry on.

Yeah, that took me a moment, too, but googling “blgc Denver shoot” got me what I needed. That tactic wouldn’t help with “nvm” but those results could be funny in their own right.

If you're a member or guest, BLGC allows 50 cal and we have a 600 yd range. I think our only large caliber "rule" is not shooting high power under 100yds (there's only one or two 50yd rifle ranges) and no incendiary. No steel when it's hot/dry.

It's a hike, 46 miles for me from Parker. Pawnee is a bit further depending on where in Denver you're coming from.

I think we're back to wait list status @BLGC, but worth looking into. Super cheap dues.

Yah, proud to be a member there! And .50's on the 600, yes.

My very first visit there, some guy let me fire 3 AP rounds out of his AR50 at a steel plate on the 600. Blew my mind, I hit with all 3. And I had never really fired any rifles but .22's before, and a couple shots from an '06 and .30-30 many, many years before.

Back when Jeff Hall used to own Barrett Brothers and do the machine gun shoots out at BLGC. We had scouts out there this day.

I put a friend on the M82A1 but he only took 3 shots so I burned up the mag.
