Long been a 50 cal lover. Never had any cartridge rifles in the cal but now have a platform that i can try it in [nope not gonna say which platform].
I am sure there has been the comparison between these two cartridges but i somehow have missed reading them.
I intend shooting very mild to wild rounds with BP as well as smokeless powder. Nothing longer then a couple hundred yards and with hunting in mind as well as tin can tumbling.
Strikes me that with the similarities between these two that maybe a more modern 500 would fill the bill. Seems like i should be able to stuff the 500 full of Ol E and blaze away and still have the option of using smokeless for some up north bear loads hunting from a ground blind with the SIL.
Thanks in advance for the experience as well as the inevitable snarky fun to be had.
