Get yourself a 30-06 and do the job right -

THANK YOU! And if the shooter is half the shot he/she thinks they are, they can make clean kills at 500 yards. But then again I shoot at this range daily, just to have something to do. The scope I use is not your normal run of the mill scope, you can read a newspaper with it at 50 yards.

And you'd be wrong: Haven't missed a hog yet.

LOL

Sure you haven't​

What size groups are you getting at 500 yds?

Tell us more about your gun/scope/ammo set up.​

If you must know a grouping of 10 shots are all in a quarter size group, providing the wind is less than 15 MPH. The gun I am presently using is a Barrett model 82A1 50 cal. with a 29" barrell with 1 twist rifling in 12". The optics are Barrett optical ranging system (BORS). Once the range is estimated the com[iter is put in action, this syster compensates for barmetic pressure, temperture, if aiming up or downward and if the rifle is canted. At 1500 yards I can make a chest shot 8 of 10 tens. But I am just an old man that has worked for large arms companies over the years to demo the wares for different SWAT teams wanting to purchase top quality weapons. The weapons I use are not your run of the mill gun you can buy at Big 5 or your local sporting good store. When you pull the trigger on any living thing, you want a clean, fast kill. If you can't do that NEVER pull the trigger. I will now put this to rest for it is about chickens here and not the weapon you shoot, for some are hunting and great shots, others should NEVER own a gun.

So how do you get away with having a barrett 50cal in CA?

You can pick'em off at almost a mile with the right optics,takes practice though.
