50BMG or 450BM?

I'm interested in getting into distance target shooting and have a hard on for the 50BMG, but know little to nothing about it. I see there's a nice AR style Bush Master in a slightly smaller caliber and wondering about pros and cons of each for long range target action.

Thanks for any help.

7mm rem mag.

You're not even comparing apples to oranges, you're comparing a vuvuzuela to the lesser antilles fruit bat.

Man, you need reevalute yourself if you think those are anywhere near one another.

Vuvuzulas are clearly superior

>Cheap

>Don't need to be fed

>Easily mass produced

>Inedible, enemy soldiers will choke to death on them if they're captured and used as food

>Simple to use

>Simple to learn

>Can be weaponized into a crime against humanity's mental and physical state

Fruit bats meanwhile, suck.

>Cost more

>Requires food

>Shits everywhere

>Shitty vegan ripoff of vampire bats

>There's at least one furry out there who uses them as their "fursona"

>Edible, third worlders can and will eat them by the bushel if they get their hands on it and use the nutrition to shit out more third worlders for your soldiers to deal with

>Won't pay attention to any of your orders, just flap around and get caught in mosquito netting

Not gonna lie, I don't believe in that geneva and hague shit but Vuvuzulas should have been added to them ages ago.

1. They are completely different.

2. .50 BMG isn't some magic supernatural round. I've seen data for .50 match ammo where it has ~15 MOA on 1000 yards and ~35 on 1500.

3. Get a cheap .338 LM Savage instead.

>interested in long-distance target shooting

how much money do you have?

cheap: 7mm rem mag or 300 win mag

not so cheap: .338 LM

rich: .50 BMG

>450BM

you mean 450 Bushmaster? It's not a long-range round by any stretch of the imagination, it was designed as one of those not-5.56 rounds for the AR because muh stopping powa.

If you want advice, get a 7mm-08/6.5 creedmoor to learn with and call it a day. Because you clearly have no idea what the hell you are doing and would just be wasting your money otherwise.

I don't know, the 450BM is cute. I'd rather have the 45 Raptor, which is basically a .308 made into a straight-walled pistol case, but either can push a 300+gr hard cast lead bullet to minute-of-man out to at least, what 50 yards? and hit a lot harder than a shotgun slug.

.450 Shrubmaster is the .45 Long Colt of the AR platform - it's decent but there's better. Only really popular because it's a straightwalled cartridge in a semi-auto which allows people in less free states to hunt durr with it.

.45 Raptor is crap because it's an answer to a question nobody asked, is slapped onto the inconsistent AR-10 platform with a proprietary magazine that has a built-in feedramp and supposedly shoots 6 MOA at 200 yards if you grab the right load data from the .460 S&W Magnum.

.458 SOCOM would be fine if the faggot who made it would trust anyone to make ammunition for it, which he doesn't, so all you get are gimmicky tacticool spiral bullets or handloads you have to order off the internet like some dumbass lighting a cigarette next to a gas pump.
