50 Cals for Hunting Dangerous Game? Real World Experience? Bullets/Loads?

Guess a large handgun requires a large ghost ring.

I found some interesting load data for CFE BLK for magnum handguns here:

Hodgdon CFE® BLK

This spherical propellant is designed expressly for the 300 Remington AAC Blackout cartridge and meters very accurately. CFE BLK contains our Copper Fouling Eraser ingredient, originally used in military propellant, which greatly deters copper fouling and contributes to longer periods of top...

It should have read or I should have said, "if I aimed or held it so I could not see the second ring"

I would not know, I make it a point not to hunt anything a 30-06 can not kill. It is a survival response for me. Would not mind using a 22 for whomever happens to be hunting with me incase I need to run.

So this is what it would look through the rings from both sides:

I personally prefer the .480 in the Alaskan to the .454. They are great guns and .480 is really easy and flexible to reload.

I had a Alaskan in 480 also but sold it to a buddy, which is OK with me since I can borrow it anytime I want. I couldn't really tell the difference when shooting the two of them so I let it go and got the one I have now. From what I understand Ruger does not chamber any revolvers or anything for that matter in 480 anymore.

Not to be a downer but there is something to consider before purchasing anything in .50 cal. Currently there is a bill, HR 127 of the 117th Congress that:

''(dd)(1) It shall be unlawful for any person to possess ammunition that is 0.50 caliber or greater. ..."

That as written will make the 500 S&W illegal to possess. This will come to be law as well as:

Needing a federal license to own any firearm or ammo. To get one of these federal licenses you will
- ''(I) undergoes a criminal background check conducted by the national instant criminal background check system ..."
- ''(II) undergoes a psychological evaluation conducted in accordance with paragraph (2), ..."
- ''(III) successfully completes a training course, certified by the Attorney General, ..."

''(d) FIREARM INSURANCE.— The Attorney General shall issue to any person who has applied for a license pursuant to
subsection (c) and has paid to the Attorney General the fee specified in paragraph (2)

''(2) FEE.—The fee specified in this paragraph is $800.''. This fee is per year.

and on and on and on.

There is no grandfather clause, meaning this applies to anyone that owns a gun at all, not just those who purchase a new firearm after this passes.

What about me muzzle stuffer?

 

[Pro2A]

Here is my Ruger 480 story, I bought it with the scope on it and the first time I fired it, they inside of the scope sounded like a bunch of loose ball bearings were in there. The retical was gone and one of they adjustments turned freely and they other was really hard to turn. So while the scope was out being repaired, I started aiming through the rings and if I made it so I could not see the second ring that thing was dead on. And when the scope came back I sold it and have been sighting it like that ever since.

A politician with a law never stops a bad guy with a gun.
He only controls the good guys, which is his true agenda.
The new agenda for humanity requires that no one will have the capacity to fight back. It has been said: "Our Task of creating a Socialist America can only succeed when those who would resist us have been totally disarmed." No other explanation is possible.
History has repeatedly demonstrated that disarming good people in the name of making bad people harmless only eventually facilitates politicians shooting their own good people countrymen. History…learn from it or be doomed to relive it. Ala, the reasoning for Libs history revisionist agenda via academia.......and in our cities via statue and historic symbols destruction, et el.
Americans didn't learn. Sounding like revival of the Democrats' Jim Crowe anti-gun laws for blacks.......this lap for ever Little Peep, regardless of color. The Government Plantation is far more expansive than the Cotton Plantation. UH......The Second Amendment IS the GRANDFATHER CLAUSE!!!! But, if one doesn't exercise the clause, the enemy will ignore it. A right not exercised, is a right not held. The enemy will always continue to take whatever ground the homies will allow them to take. They will continue to push until decisive, irresistible opposition is encountered beyond acceptable looses. Recall the paradigm.....Soap Box; Ballot Box.....and post-2020, Mail Box; Cartridge Box; Pine Box, Although always a losing strategy, with this past election, expecting to "oppose at the ballot box ship" has sailed. That's why America is where it is. Play by the enemies' rules; lose by the enemies' rules. Getting closer by the day to 2A implementation as foreseen by our Founding Fathers........or lose Freedoms, Rights, and Liberties for all time. Just because the Left is not actively using firearms....yet, does not mean America has not been under siege for decades. America has been over run. Once one's position is over run, one has to decisively clear every single nook and cranny to regain a green zone.
