Hunting deer w/ a .50 BMG

[markheck1]

Hmmm....ya know...that's prolly true, just be half inch holes front and back.....

I know of the bullets you speak of, only in 70 gr out of my .243...Looks like a M1000 went off inside the G-Hogs head

Species...just don't angle that .50 in the general direction of shrewsberry....I'd have to at least warn the g\fs parents...or maybe my aunt and uncle over in New Park if the round skips

I live in Glen Rock but I hunt Shrewsbury from my deck. lol. Its only a half mile shot. By the time I get to the deer, its bled out. I have the wifey guide me to the deer via cell phone and telescope.

How sad and enlightened some people have become on this forum. Not able to enjoy the company of others or just let some people be silly in their fantasies.

The guys at Dogbegone.com used the .50 bmg on prairie dogs in their second video. Ya'll should check out their site some time, they have lots of funny shots if gore doesn't bother ya. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the distance, bullet fired are what will affect what it does to the deer. I have shot deer at 85 yards with a .300 winmag 180 Nosler ballistic tip and shot right clean through them. I have had a 180 grain nosler ballistic tip bullet pass directly through the rib (not expand) and make a hole the size of my pinky on the back shoulder. I hate hit coyotes in the front shoulder with the 180 grain nosler ballistic tip bullet at 500 yards, walk up to them to find a hole bigger than my fist on the backside. The .50 BMG bullets are alot heavier so they'll have to hit something solid to make them expand or so that they can shatter the bone and use it as shrapnel inside the animal. If you hit something soft kind of up close, it might just shoot right through them. I think it all just depends. Oh and for those interested if you want to see what a Nosler ballistic tip bullet does to a coyote's head at 300 yards, drop me a PM, I'll warn you now, it ain't pretty.

Yea it would probably just blow right through em. The only rounds I have now are surplus stuff. 880gr. teflon coated, armor piercing. I bought them during the ultralite boom. I thought I was being attacked from the air. LOL.
I shot a deer w/ my 300 win mag once at a whoppin 20 feet away. I was so close to the deer. When I looked through the scope, all I saw was brown. I had to just point the rifle at it and look across the top of the scope. I hand loaded some 130 gr. hollow points w/ a hot load trying to get the bullet to tumble. I think it worked. The exit wound was the size of a softball.
