I'm also thinking about getting into reloading to help offset the cost of rounds.... I view what I'm looking at as having some "common characteristics" with ammunition. I have something that is 5.56, and 7.62 -- hence why I was thinking .50 BMG because it's considered "common" and if say, i dunno, there was a zombie apocalypse the rounds would be easier to come by than some off-the-wall ammo.

and as for buy-in. I know this isn't going to be a cheap investment....

Well, it's your wallet man
Dad has one of the single shot Barretts (Model 99, I believe) and it's a frickin' grin factory to touch off a round or two.
