[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1312111, member: 2736"] There are other points to consider also. There is a point that velocity will exceed the bullets design and no longer perform. (I have reached this point many times )also a bigger and stronger action and barrel only add extra weight and at some point becomes to big/heavy to be carried by most hunters and also some states have already band rifles that weigh over 16 pounds pretty much ruling out the 50 BMG, so there comes a point of diminishing returns. I am all for improvements and the powder manufactures have stepped up and also the bullet makers. so it becomes mostly limited by the shooters ability and how far you can shoot accurately. Having shot many long range matches it is rarely the cartridge that looses, but the shooter. So in my opinion why push the limits beyond the human ability and risk injury with over loads. also taking the human factor out of the equation would take a lot of the fun and skill out of it.
