[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 359114, member: 2736"] Thanks Kirby ! I knew I was not the only one that hunted with the 59BMG I just wanted to know How every one liked it and the results that were getting. I agree with your assessment on it and it is funny that the best load for me is the same load as you listed but I use a little more powder for a velocity of 2930 ft/sec. I realize also that trajectory is not as good as some other cartriges but the wind bucking ability is second to none, And this is an area that I need all the help I can get. Also using the turrets It is just a few more clicks. I had not planed to try a high shoulder shot and you have convinced me that My instincts were right. Before I started on this journey I looked into the 408s and 416 Barrett's and found them to be more expensive and tougher on barrels also ammo was very expensive and hard to find , also the components are expensive (Bullets and cases) so I made the decision to go with the 50 BMG in a M82 A1 10 round semi auto( After all what could be more fun than a 50 cal semi auto with 10 round Mags). I realize that some states have max weight limits on hunting rifles and this is why it is not used everywhere. Any way thanks again for your honest comments and maybe others that have had or still have one will add there comments. Thanks J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
