[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 109657, member: 10"] Steve, Accuracy wise, lets just say the world record five shot group at 1K is just over 2" from a heavy rifle. I have personally shot 7" groups at 1000 yards in my LAR Grizzly with quality hand loads. I would say they are just as accurate as other chamberings but they are often much more difficult to shoot accurately because of the level of recoil and muzzle blast. It makes me laugh when I hear guys saying that since its a 50 BMG then making a hit at extreme range is easy!! First sign they know nothing about the big guns. If you can hold tight groups with a 50 cal bolt gun, you are a fine shot. If you can load ammo for the 50 that produces tight groups you are a fine handloader. They are not the easiest rifles to load and shoot with match grade accuracy but that is not because the round or rifles are not accurate by any stretch of the imagination. 1/2 moa is still plenty realistic at any range really in a quality rifle with quality ammo. Trajectory is not the flattest but who can argue with 15,000 ft/lbs of energy [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]!! Again, this is a shear horsepower thing but if its not accurate I would not be interested in it at all!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
