I think you mean .50 cal which is 1/2 inch.

I made this one for a Christmas gift.
I used an Atlas kit.

Laurie,
If you meant 50 BMG (50 caliber shell and bullet), here is a link to one I posted a short time ago.

How did the atlas match up? It appears the tip of the casing in crimped in the picture. Also what type of refill does the Atlas use?

Laurie,
The thread that I linked to also has a set of instructions for the shell part of the pen. If you have any questions, PM me and I will try to give you a better set of instructions or clarification.

EDIT: BTW, If this person can get you 'pulled' bullets, make sure that they are NOT armor piercing (AP). If he doesn't get you any and you would like to try some, let me know. I have some tracer rounds that I can remove the tracer material and lead from then send them to you.

FireMedic4Christ,
That is the way I found the cartridge, I think it might be a blank round I don't know. The Atlas uses the parker style of refill.
