Yeah, you’d have to lead 880 ft for every second it would take for the bullet to travel to the target. Not accounting for windspeed, of course.

Bravo to Mr. Ronnie Barrett. Sad to say I didn’t have the money then nor now for one of the .50 BMG semi auto configurations. Hell even a bolt gun would be just fine.

Is the diameter of a bore considered to be the diameter of the largest sphere which can pass through the bore, the width of the largest rectangle that can pass through the bore, twice the maximum distance from a center-line chosen to minimize that distance, or what? For some bore contours with an odd number of lands/grooves, the three measurements could be quite different.

What about shotgun slugs? Aren’t they .62?

Effing idiots.
