Re: .50 BMG Hunting photos
Hi Ds J,
I do not know... I still need to decide, but i'd rather go hunt with the 6.5...
6.5 vs 50

Re: .50 BMG Hunting photos
Just one thing to keep in mind when hunting with a 50, while the energy figures are certainly impressive, a non vital hit is still going to result in a wounded animal. Once that animal moves out of sight, you are going to have to follow it. Doing that with a rifle of this weight and size is probably not going to be easy or practical. Having a friend with a hunting rifle at hand will save you lots of trouble and the animal a lot of suffering.

Re: .50 BMG Hunting photos
Hi TStone,
Personally i have no intention of hunting with it.
- I do not think there is a real "Hunting" style bullet for this caliber, unless I have missed it somewhere. (Hunting in the sense of an expanding bullet)
If i ever decide to go hunt i'll keep your advice in mind, thanks!
