I respect your opinion but don't totally agree with it. I mostly use my Omega .50 for hunting now and shoot the TC carbine at the range. However, I don't see any problem using a .50 PRB if you stay within the effective range. Like I said in my post. I shot that buck at about 70 yrds with open iron sights. Dropped it where it stood. As for accuracy, I was getting decent groups out to around 75 yrds. (yes, with open sights) I just don't see any problem with that as long as the hunter is capable of taking a clean ethical shot within his and his rifles capabilities. Just my opinion.
