Yeah but when you're hunting you want something left of the animal...

which is why you wouldn't use a .50 cal

for hunting you want a large caliber round but relatively little muzzle energy/fps

if you just want to shred anything that gets hit...use a .50 cal

[NewbieFilmProduction]

50 cal's are so overated

[BEAAVIS]

50 cal aint got nuthin on this

HUH? If you are speaking of the 50 caliber Browning machine gun round, the 500 nitro is a pipqueak in comaparison of muzzle energy, now is you arer talking of bullet diamiter they are the same size. Do you know much about firearms.

[ProtoplasmicWorship]

I think he may be talking about the Barrett .50 M107

[PigHunter375]

The .500 Nitro is a far more useful cartridge than the .50 Big Meaningless Gun.

[timjberkley]

they both have their place. in hunting i'd have to agree. military applications, not so much

[azreal289]

lol it doesnt have half the guts of a 50 bmg past 150 yards, but let me guess, your not that great of a shot, so shooting at animals past 150 yards sounds stupid to you,

[TriggerHappyLunatics]

Do your reserach man

500 Nitro Express 570 grain bullet- 5,860 ft-lbs.

.50 BMG 800 grain bullet- 14,895 ft lbs.
