The true power of .50 BMG

[oldag]

I've read a substantial amount of history regarding this fraud as President. His S.S. agents hated his P.R. nonsense. He, like the clintons, treated them like dirt...that's one indicator of him not what he'd like the American public to think him. He was an utter fraud.

He projected humility while possessing none.

He was a giant turd in the American Presidential punch bowl.

Dementia?

This monster isn't Ronald Reagan, who sadly actually had a form of dementia.

His elderly status doesn't confer anything positive about him.

Being an old leftist is just that........

I have read otherwise - both now and when he was in office. During his time in the WH, he was certainly no leftist. A Dem, yes. By today's Dem party standards, he would be on the right of the Dem party (not that he was conservative, but rather relative to the other Dem's today).

Elderly status in and of itself does not confer anything. But when someone changes that much and they are also getting old, dementia (or similar) can be the cause. And that is not positive.

For comparison, this cottontail was hit at about 50 yards with a .223 Dogtown varmint bullet.

And I believe this Jackelope took a .22 Nosler at around 150.

Energy does nothing if it doesn’t get transferred.

Those pics definitely show how expansion of the bullet can be a killer on the internals.

Have a buddy that though steel core 5.56 would be better than a soft game point on hogs. When he switched the hogs started dropping & not running off several hundred yards.

Dogtown. FTW! Y'all can thank Vaq for that.

Hell, I think I had a bigger hole with my .17WSM.

Try a 75 gr 220 Swift at abt 4k FPS. What wabbit?

Depends on the projectile. A fragmenting projectile will have a more explosive result. There is no doubt that the .50BMG has more energy and will go through the rabbit more quickly.

not enough meat on that rabbit to stop a 50 bmg.

Truth be known about .50 BMGs.....

The OP's projectile, after exiting the hare, entered a low-earth-orbit.

It's still out there circling our globe every 3.14159 hours or so.
