[QUOTE="PrimeTime, post: 22983, member: 54"] CatShooter, Maybe you can answer this question for me. I am aware that there are quality bullets for the 50 caliber and that it is capable to load this round to bench rest standards. However, when a sniper goes into the field and needs to make an accurate shot as lives may depend on it, what ammo is he using? Do they have access to ammo loaded with these high quality components or are they using the same .50 cal ammo that the machine guns fire? You have made some good points. I would like to see someone try the .408 in 1,000 yard matches. At the club here in Pa., the .408 would actually be legal. The line is drawn at .410, so anything .409 and down is legal. Hopefully someone will take the plunge and gives this round a thorough testing. [/QUOTE]
