A 50 cal is not capable of killing a deer.

Can't even knock over cards... So I call bullshit.

The video in the original post is crap. A piece of fluff with a BS claim about missing the deer but killing it when the bullet passes close by.

A 750 grain bullet moving 2800 feet per second doesn't gain magical properties just because it's .51 inches wide. Keith Warren acts like everyone watching his video is stupid.

I mentioned it in post #35 and I'm sure others have too.

I noticed some posts gone. It may have brought out the hammer as well.

Some people are just stupid and they give the DNR reason to be on our arses. Don't downplay the validity of the claim. I shot at a groundhog with my .243 Forester and missed him by a smidge, because I flinched at a noise, but he died. I suppose the combination of the whizzing bullet and muzzle blast gave him a coronary. I've had it happen with squirrels, too, so why not a deer. A .50's muzzle blast shakes the earth and air.
