I'd drop that grain recommendation down to 220 rather than 240 if shooting from a .50. Even 200 grain with proper bullet construction and a proper load can be a really good whitetail and bear dropper. I say this with the Lehigh and Bloodline bullets in mind. Having seen the results of a 220 grain Lehigh CF bullet at a little over 200 yards on a close to 300 pound buck, they proved themselves to be damn fine bullets.
