I don't have my loading books with me but I bet the 50 BMG pushing a 750gr bullet is flatter than a .243. It will also kill an animal a mile away. The recoil is about the same as a .243 also. Can the .243 kill an animal a mile away? I don't think so.
you are probable right , but I wasnt talking about cannons LOL !
The ballistics show the 55 gr bullet out of the .243 to have 27 inches of drop @ 500yds with a 200yds zero, no the 220 swift cant do that no the 22-250 cant do that nor the -06 accelerator. but the .243wssm wins with the same bullet it has 25 inches of drop.
