which do you folks prefer ? soooo .... i thought i "knew" i wanted to go with 50 when i get my ML simply because of there being more (and often cheaper) 50 cal bullet choices . in these mountains (Tazewell Va , Appalachians) i'll probably never have shot at a deer over 200 yards (mostly 100 or less) .... but elk in Va is possible in other areas but i still don't think i try shooting one farther than 200 .
i'm asking because i'm thinking (which sometimes gets me in trouble) if sabots are reasonably/similarly as accurate at 200 yards as full bore bullets it would open up .45 cal bullet options if i went that route .... . which also gives me the benefits of 45s higher velocity and the 1.22 twist . is the 1.22 twist a real benefit ... or is it marketing ? BTW ..... i think i want to go with solid copper bullets .
can someone post a link to or share what difference i can expect velocity wise between the same powder charge and a similar weight bullet and barrel length using 45 vs 50 cal ?
i'm sure there's factors i'm unaware of to consider so some info on them would be nice also . i've %95 decided i want a accura mr-x or lr-x . i'm thinking if i go 50 i'll go with the mr-x and if i go 45 to go with the lr-x . y'alls thoughts and experience for recommendations is appreciated . BTW .... am i over thinking all this ? should i just KISS and go 50 ?
take care , jeff
