Are you talkin 50 BMG....

Otherwise you don't know what you are talkin about with the BIG FIFTY.....LOL

When you say BIG FIFTY..that usually means 50 Caliber SHARPS...50/90 was a factory chamber and the 50/140 was a late chambering....That is 50 caliber and 140 grains of Black Powder....I have had both and have shot both....the 50/140 is akin to shooting a piece of artillery that your holding to yur shoulder....not a pleasant experience under ANY circumstances...you pull the trigger once and just the thought of pulling it again makes you wince and flinch....you actually close your eyes as you pull the trigger the second time. Then you put the rifle down and vow never to shoot it again...LOL...

With the 50/140 the bullet sounds like a howizer as you see it head for the target.
