Default RE: hunting with the big .50?

The numbers on the 50 weren't as good as I thought. Here they are:

Sighted in 28" high at 100 yards, the "big 50" will be approx 35 ft. low at 1500 yards. (Just short of a mile) Not to mention the 12 feet that a 10 mph cross-wind will blow the bullet. You had better have your beans in a can if you're gonna shoot this gun a mile. If you are off 25 yards in judgement, you're talking about an 8" error.
Here's the link.
