I have a safe full of guns in various calibers from 223 to50 BMGand many in between, and I CHOOSE to hunt with practically anything but a 30-30. Out here in the wide open plains and high alpine mountains and for the game I pursue I want something with more reach and more thump. That said, I'm sure it does an acceptable job on Southern Whitetail.
50 BMG is a helluva elk gun.
