Default RE: 50 BMG

Be carful with that rifle it will shoot alot farther then you can see and go through the neighbor's truck at the same time.
This is what I would worry about. Even if you know your going to hit your target, after it blows though that what else are you going to hit? I dont care if thats what you want to hunt with, but it seems kinda silly to me. A 50bmg and the 30-06 come out of the muzzle the same, about 2800fps. But the 50bmg has 13000flbs as the 30-06 has about 3000flbs of energy. This could be a time-saver though, as I would try to get the deer to walk to the middle of a field that you covered with freezer paper. No muss, no fuss; shoot the deer and then wrap up the hamburger!
