[QUOTE="AKGuide, post: 919078, member: 64701"] I know for a fact that an animal shot with a 50 cal expires just like a conventional cartridge just quicker, normally from a bigger hole in and out. Also if you use solids it would make for less meat loss and just a little tracking to do. I watched a video of a guy shooting a bison at a 1000 yards maybe a hair closer and it was taken cleanly and effectively. I would only be skeptical of using the 50 with frangible bullets that would result in major meat loss. I grew up practicing, you kill it, you eat it. Although, if you are going to lug a 30-40 pound rifle around the woods or mountains more power to you. Reuben [/QUOTE]
