lol @ people who use large calibur bullets for long range shooting
lighter bullets travel further, use 223 instead

not my question. have you tried shooting .223 at 1000 yards?
>15 MOA
>apex at 60ft above the ground
>bounces off the target

>>34384979
haha if you dont know how to handle a 223 maybe you shouldnt be firing 50

came here to post this

>>34384964
I havent done any precision shooting, but from the research I've done, it seems like boutique cartridges like .408 seem to be the way to go.

you must be 18 to post on this site. are you going to provide useful information from experience or knowledge, or just keep posting retarded opinions whilst fucking yourself with a wine bottle?

>>34384979
Saying you SHOULD use .223 is retarded, but 15 MOA at a thousand yards is a bit extreme. In a good rifle with the appropriate barrel, 75 grain BTHP rounds have a great ballistic coefficient and retain velocity a lot farther than you would think. To actually contribute to the thread, 6.5 creedmoor is the right answer. Super sonic out to 1400 yards.

Obviously .408 would be awesome but it's a little out of my price range and I have the chance to get an elephant gun so I'm debating whether it's worth my money for what I want to do with it

>>34385002
From what I've seen elephant guns arent really a precision tool. As elephant hunting is done at relatively short distances.

So even if you got that big bore, I doubt you'd be able to use it for that task.

Not nearly as punishing as magnum calibers, either. Long bullet is Looooooooong, but it's not particularly heavy. 120 grains range, I think. The BC is fucking ridiculous because of the shallow nose angle, something like .55. It holds velocity extremely well, is very flat shooting, and most barrels are going to be match grade. The long projectiles and tight tolerance on OACL means accuracy will be great on pretty much anything chambered for it.

If you are going to go with an expensive, huge rifle that costs $5 a round, then go .375 Chey Tac.

>>34384973
Do 223 manage 3.5+km? Didn't think so.
50BMG does

Carlos Hathcock had a confirmed kill with a .50 BMG from 2,500 yards so I would say they are plenty accurate enough.

>>34384964
.408 Cheytac M2000- sure it will run you up about 15 grand, but it doesn't get much more precision than that.

if you could find/make some .50 bmg ucal, im sure it would work just fine. Though you would still be better of with a .338 lapua or the likes, as the .50 bullet is just so heavy.

>not man fireable
Canada going full women empowerment.

>>34385027
Yep, just stay away from the > .50 family unless you just want the cool factor. 6.5Creed will do everything you want it to do as well as have readily available components to reload (which in the long range game you should be doing) or factory ammo. As a bonus the parent case is a 308/7.62 so most rifles could be rechambered in it by any competent smith.

The new Canadian record was with a 50bmg.
