True. The .50 Sharp's round was a pretty long shell, which is the reason
it only held one [and was .50-90, IIRC.] 

The .50 Bullard round was much shorter. IIRC, about 2 inches long, as
compared to the longer .50 rounds, which were three or four inches
[maybe some longer.]

I dropped the damage code on the Bullard in my game to reflect this and
made Bullard ammo harder to come by.
