• The .50 Calibers: The .50 Special is a wonderfully accurate and pleasant round
with minimal recoil and muzzle blast, shooting 300—350 gr. bullets to 800—
900 fps. A newcomer, the .50 GI is similar but small enough to serve in the
medium-frame guns with loads developing 700—800 fps with 250—300
bullets. The rimless .50 Action Express offers intermediate levels of perfor-
mance perfect for deer-size animals. Now a factory-loaded cartridge, the .500
Linebaugh is the most powerful .50 and is an effective big-game cartridge,
especially at close range. It will heave 400—450 gr. bullets to 1200—1250 fps.
