Some folks just don't get it. Using a rifle that shoots BMG (ammunition by design for Browning .50 cal. machine gun) that has been used for many decades and countless wars for everything from shooting down enemy planes to penetrating armored enemy vehicles and sniper rifles for hunting game is like fishing with tnt. Yeah I suppose you can say "it works", but it's not sporting and really not dependable to think you regularly get a clean kill of a big game animal when you're shooting 800 to some over 1000 yds.

This article says, "John Yenason, who is among the top competitive .50 shooters, says that before showing up at a match you should be able to put five shots in a minute of angle at 1,000 yards—a 10-inch group." A competitive shooter putting 5 shots in 1 min. of angle under ideal conditions leaves you with shots in a 10 in. group. How may wounded and badly blow apart Elk or other big game animals will it take to convince you that this is a very bad thing for the rest of hunting and hunters?
