Re: .50 BMG Hunting photos
carlp just looking at the specs, its going to out preform the 375 and 30-06 hands down. Gemsbok from 600m away, ag what dreams are good friends. It will be handy for the hunters that cannot walk and stalk very far any more. They would just have to get a comfortable position and wait.

Re: .50 BMG Hunting photos
Hi carlp,
In short;
- the 50BMG carries 10x the energy @ 700 Yards vs the 375 H&H
- the 50BMG carries 8x the energy @ 700 Yards vs the 30-06
If you needed 1600fps for a projectile to reliably expand, then you will be able to hunt with a 50BMG out to 1600yards, at this distance, the 50bmg still has 1000ft.lbf more energy than a 375H&H pointblank.
Here is the energy the different caliber carries over distance.

Re: .50 BMG Hunting photos
Brillo, what will you be hunting with your .50 ?
Is there anything on the planet which can not be taken with it?

Re: .50 BMG Hunting photos
Hi A-R,
revised difference; note that I used a load something in the middle to have some velocity available.
- with a 300gr bullet it is still usable to 600yards
- the 50BMG carries almost 5x the energy @ 500 Yards vs the 375 H&H 300gr
- the 50BMG carries ~5x the energy @ 700 Yards vs the 30-06 180gr
Another thing to keep in mind, this is about the heaviest load for 375h&h
- The 50 BMG goes from 660gr - 1100gr - I chose something in the middle to have a combination of velocity & energy.
The below is a true scale of the bullet comparisons
