Been having fun with the Bohica today and even made a new reloading tray for it.  I’ve got the carry handle installed in a manner that helps carry it balanced between the front and rear. My best friend picked up a 36" rifle with a MG type carry handle and when he saw how much I liked it while fitting the upper to his lower, he went out and purchased one for me.  Now while I don't have a 36" barrel  I discovered that a 15 inch 4 rail forearm just wouldn't balance with my rifle.  I was able to put a couple of rails on my factory forearm and also use an angled mount to level the carry handle so it would be easier to carry.

I've also got some new  850 grain Lehigh bullets and ordered VV20N29 powder that finally shipped yesterday and I've got a mold on the way that will cast 3 850 grain with gas check bullets that I'm dying to try out.  It was one of the guys here that put me on the group buy on www.castboolits.comI will be exploring new loads to make this lead load accurately shoot.  Anyone have some ideas for a lead load for an 850 bullet tor 50 BMG that is not to fast?

You could try some TrailBoss...

Rockrat had a load with trailboss. I have been using 872 around 190gr with good results need to seat close to lands.

Whoops, the bullets I'm fixing to reload are 800 grain Lehigh not 850.  The VV20N29 powder is coming in today so I'm looking forward to giving it a try.  I do have a bunch of AA8700, H50 BMG and H5010 powders and I've got a mold for an 850 grain lead bullet with gas check coming sometime next week.  I'm looking forward to testing all these loads and bullets out.  At least I'm not stuck without any ammo like so many here in the states lately.
