The .50 Alaskan: Power, history, and rifles built for dangerous game

Tim Sundles of Buffalo Bore walks through the history and sheer power of the .50 Alaskan, a cartridge built from .348 Winchester brass and tailored for the toughest hunts on earth. He explains why custom Marlin-based rifles chambered in this round are stock-breaking, rock-crushing beasts, and why the cartridge deserves a factory rifle of its own. Stick around for a shooting demo at the end.
