[QUOTE="Down Under Hunter, post: 247299, member: 8486"] I thought thihs topic might raise a little interest with a few of you ! I have been doing some research on some larger factory chamberings. 408 CT, 416 BARRETT and 50 BMG and one thing I am noticing is that there seems to be an opinion among many that these cals loose accuracy to gain extended range capabilty ? Many of them quote guaranteed accuracy of only 1 moa, with Mcmillan Bros being the best I have seen saying the TAC 50 will shoot .5 at 100 yards. From my ltd experience with the 338 cals, I would not raise an eyebrow about a great shooting rifle unless it was .5 moa or better at 1000 yards. Maybe I am just spoilt ? But when your shelling out huge somes of money for these so called BIG NAME BRANDS you want the accuracy. I'm personally not interetsed in sacrificing freaky good accuracy to extend the range potential. Are the larger cals as capable of great accuracy ? I know the AM and Snipe TAC will do it, but I have not seen much else. Is the bigger round harder to get shooting tight ? Barrett and Mcmillan are huge dollars for what I think is so so ran accuracy guarantees This should be interesting ! Lets get it on !! [/QUOTE]
