why 54 over 50

Tell us why you picked the 54 cal. rifle for Levi over the 50 cal. It would seem that that the 50 cal. would have a better selection of bullets with higher ballistic coefficients then the 54 cal. Or is it just a matter of the iron sights which limit the range of both calibers to about the same distance, if so the difference in ballistic coefficients would be moot?

Hi Harold, I didn't really have a lot of say, he picked it. He started with a CVA 50 cal., and I guess wanted to use the 54.
