Seeing ErickWs thread on 357 or 44 I thought I would admit to also being in a quandry. I am new to deer hunting and I want to get this right. I had never heard of the 50 Beowulf until I looked at our hunting regs and I thought "wow, affordable 50 cal AR-15?! I will have one!"
I expect I will get one regardless but if I can save the money from buying a dedicated deer gun too, even better. My other considerations are also the 1894 in 44 or 357. My concern is I hunt solely for meat and I do not want to blow the poor thing in half.
So I'm looking for the intersection where deer makes quick trip to the clover field in the sky meets not blowing big bloody holes in it. What specific 50 Beo factory load (if any) will do this given proper shot placement? Thanks!
