but find the 12.7mm (.50 caliber) weapons too heavy

Wusses...

.338 RUM baby! If I could just find a rifle chambered in it. Lapua cartridges are as expensive as .50 BMG! Here's a 950 yard shot w/ .338 Edge - RUM is supposed to be a bit better, but talk about splitting hairs. .338Edge

target is a white smudge in roughly the center of the frame.

Loved the pull back at the end. Beautiful country and a good shot.

Ayuh, was over to Gooch's Hardware picking up a box of .338 Edge just t'other day. Fabulous on moose at 1850 yards, which is even more in meters.

Come on Lizard, get serious. Ya want half the Army up all night handloading so 100 snipers can each have their box of 20? I also hope you ain't talking to one of the SWAT Team members that are infesting the countryside (Like the Maine Mental Hospital Swat Team, or the Girl Guides Swat Team) They see something like this in print, they start ordering it from the back of those magazines they read. We can barely afford all the black SWAT Team fashion accessories as it is.
