Gentlemen, gentlemen........Please keep in mind that this round was originally designed to pierce armour not take big game. I will atest, however, that there are some SF guys out there that are trained to take game (enemy personnel) with this rifle. Remember, that's ALL they do! They train day and night to do exactly what we are talking about. Most .50 cal. snipers never pick up another long range weapon. Sure...they can shoot the ass out of a fly at 1800 mikes but this is a HUNTING FORUM!
