[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 37230, member: 10"] The Peacekeeper is basically a 500 A-Square throated to accept the long 50 BMG bullets. It is built on the full length 460 Wby case. The 500 Whisper is also built on that same case but is shortened to I believe a bit under 2" in case length but I do not have the exact length in front of me right now. It is true the 50 PK is a great round but at extreme range the 50 BMG is still the king of the 50's by a fair margin. Considering the savings in powder for the PK compared to the spendier brass of the PK and I would rather have the 50 BMG if your looking for a high performance 50 cal round. Recoil of the PK in typical weight rifles is nearly identical to the 50 BMG in their 30 lb rifles, just less performance. There was alot of fuss about the PK when it came out but the interest has since died off, especially with the idea of the 408 class rounds coming out. Good Shooting!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
