This is useful too, but considered too heavy to be carried on a regular basis, unless of course, Uncle Sam is paying you to do so...

Unless you have some sort of super intelligent spire ammo for the 50, I’d still expect the 45/70 with those flat-nosed silver solder bullets to put large animals down faster. Those bullets don’t HAVE to expand. Part of the problem is that there’s no real way to make spire ammo which functions well under all conditions, all targets, all ranges. If you want a 50 to hunt with, go for the 50 Alaskan.

My thoughts exactly.
Don't even need to hit the bear. Anything close from a 50 might knock it over.
Heck, bears is smart. Just seeing a Barrett might scare it away. ;)
