Damn near .50 cal, that's what. And with the 2X scope pretty heavy too.


They used them for hunting buffalo...up close.

Not the .480. It's a new design in the last few years. The bullets
aren't heavy enough to kill a buffalo, the only ones available
commercially are 325 grain, at least the last time I checked. I'm sure
more are on the way. Best you could do is fill him with holes and have
him bleed to death. On soft tissue animals like deer and humans though
it would make a hole you sould stick an arm thru.
