The '''.510 DTC EUROP''' is a French [[rifle]] cartridge developed by [[Eric Danis]] in order to comply with firearms legislation of [[.50 BMG]] rifles in Europe. In response to the [[.50 Caliber BMG Regulation Act of 2004]], which banned future sales of [[.50 BMG]] shoulder-fired rifles in [[California]], long-range shooters in that state have begun to adopt this cartridge as a manner of following the new legislation.
The '''.510 DTC EUROP''' is a French [[rifle]] cartridge developed by [[Eric Danis]] of Dan Tec to comply with firearms legislation of [[.50 BMG]] rifles in Europe. The .510 DTC EUROP uses the same bullet as the .50 BMG, but has slightly different case dimensions. The case is {{convert|0.100|in|mm}} shorter and uses a steeper shoulder than standard .50 BMG ammunition. .510 DTC cases can be made by shortening and then [[Fire forming|fire-forming]] .50 BMG cases. The new round has almost identical ballistics, but because of the different dimensions, rifles chambered for the .50 BMG cannot safely fire the .510 DTC, and vice versa, and therefore do not fall under the same legal prohibitions such as California's [[.50 Caliber BMG Regulation Act of 2004]].

The .510 DTC EUROP is a French rifle cartridge developed by Eric Danis of Dan Tec to comply with firearms legislation of .50 BMG rifles in Europe. The .510 DTC EUROP uses the same bullet as the .50 BMG, but has slightly different case dimensions. The case is 0.100 inches (2.5 mm) shorter and uses a steeper shoulder than standard .50 BMG ammunition. .510 DTC cases can be made by shortening and then fire-forming .50 BMG cases. The new round has almost identical ballistics, but because of the different dimensions, rifles chambered for the .50 BMG cannot safely fire the .510 DTC, and vice versa, and therefore do not fall under the same legal prohibitions such as California's .50 Caliber BMG Regulation Act of 2004.
