Anyone who thinks a poorly placed 50 bmg shot wont kill has obviously not seen that monster at work. I have seen it cut whitetails in half. I have seen pictures from afghanistan of men hit in the pelvic area and cut nearly in half.

Id use my 243 but keep shots to 150 yrds where I could hit what I wanted. Unless one shots several 100 rounds at 400 yards the few months before season no one has the skills to be shooting 400 yards--flame away.
But then one might wonder how many of those 400 yard shots are really about 165?? |

I would use a 30-06 165gr sp and keep my shots under 300 yards. I know this combination works on prairie dogs, jackrabbits, and mule deer. I don't hunt anymore but still like to shoot the gun.

At some point I have to wonder What is the motive when the trigger is pulled? I absolutely support hunting when there is respect for the animal and consuming the meat is a priority. But the idea of using big game for splatter porn or a block of ballistic gel ,just for cheap thrills and bragging rights brings disgrace to hunting,IMO |
