Over gunned is there such?

Yeah you can deffinitly be overgunned. .50BMG will kill the hell out of squirels but you wont be cooking much now will you?

The most important question; does it work for you, you seem to have answered. Shot placment and range are going to play a big factor here. I am at the complete other end of the spectrum and don't want to be overgunned, but then again the last deer I shot was at about 15 yards. I don't even want to see what a .338 is going to do to a 100# doe at that range. I shoot 7.62x39 and love the hell out of it. I would not shoot a deer at anywhere near the ranges some of you guys are shooting.

Again thats what makes this place cool. We have hunters from lots of different enviroments. Just wish I had the cash to visit some of yall.

Now a squril with a 50?
well that would defin6tly mean a head shot if any meat was to be left.

The head shots if you want to take them go ahead.
I know with my traying i could do it but still dont like them.
its a persional choice.

As far as the close range goes in my close spots i use the 45-70 it normaly stright through.

now the 338 at 15yds would be a bit much evan with the heaver bullets the volicity would still be high.
