Velocity of .50 BMG (Browining Machine Gun, 660 gr to 720 gr bullet weights ) projectile within 20 feet of the muzzle will between 2750 and 2850 feet per second, depending upon the cartride.
It depends on the weight and shape of the bullet, as well as the amount of powder used, but a good average would be from 2800 feet per second to a little over 3000 feet per second when shot from a rifle. There have been reports of greater speeds (in the 4000 to 5000 fps range) perhaps with sabot rounds.

It depends on what you mean by measure, but if you mean in regard to the "50 caliber" part, caliber is the diameter of the piece of lead.
a s.w.50 caliber or ( special weapons ) also known as the snipers weapon and is about 5.45" in length, either it has a red, black, silver or blue tip That really didn't answer the question. Here is what you need to consider when trying to answer this question. #1 What is the weight of the bullet? If you're talking about a 750 grain .50 BMG, then it would not travel very far. Is this a Beowulf .50 cal or a Browning Machine Gun .50 cal? You can get exterior ballistics software on-line to calculate exactly what your looking for.
It depends. A box of 10 .50 BMG cartridges are something like $25 or $30. .50 AE is much cheaper. There are also other types of 50 caliber ammo and bullets.
Bullets are measured in grains. 50 caliber rifle rounds typcially range from 650 grains to 800 grains. 50 caliber handgun rounds are typically around 325 to 350 grains.

It depends on the bullet and its kinetic energy, 50 caliber certainly can.
what type bullet in 50 cal
Any bullet that has a diameter of one half inch is a .50 caliber bullet. There are different .50 caliber bullets- my Hawken muzzle loading rifle shoots a .50 caliber lead bullet, but different from the .50 Browning Machine Gun (that is also used in the .50 Barret sniper rifle)

They are most certainly measured differently. The "50" in 50 caliber is measuring in inches and should actually be referred in writing as ".50 Caliber." The "5.56" is in millimeters (mm) and should be written as "5.56mm".To compare the two:.50 Caliber = 1/2 inch = 12.7mm5.56mm = ~ .2189 inchSo the .50 caliber bullet is roughly 2.28 times wider than the 5.56mm caliber bullet.
If you shot a 50 caliber bullet at a 7.62mm bullet and they hit dead on, you prbly wouldn't even know the 7.62mm bullet exsisted because the 50 caliber bullet would sh!t f*ck the 7.62mm bullet , short answer- 50 cal. Look up a ammo size comparison chart
The highest caliber bullet commonly used is a .50 cal. However, there are bullet that are larger in caliber. the 700 Nitro express comes to mind.
Size and relative power. A .40 caliber bullet is .40 of an inch and the entire cartridge is 28.8 millimeters long. A .50 caliber (handgun) bullet is .50 of an inch and the entire cartridge is 40.99 millimeters long. The .50 caliber has more powder, more velocity, and more muzzle energy.
Faster than you can run.
Caliber is in reference to the diameter of the bullet. A .40 (which is what I have) is .40 inches in diameter. A .50 caliber is .50 inches in diameter (half an inch). So a caliber is the inches in diameter. Not including the 9mm which I cannot stand
