[QUOTE="LR3, post: 1295444, member: 15336"] I ve followed this with interest with the view of what s next after .375 based on Gibbs .505 case like AM Snipetac etc. I get 3300 fps with my AM but with pressure signs and it's great but out to 2miles less certain accuracy. I can hit 3" rocks at 2500 yds but range is 3520 yds for 2 miles. A few years ago Dave Viers started building me a .585 based 416 with the idea to get better BC of about 1.0 using CEB. The were some problems. Dave was making his own action, the .585 would sometimes hang fire (my .577 NE has not but my 505 has ...on a buffalo shot!), and then Dave stopped manufacturing for health reasons. So I d still be interested. Without getting into the 50BMG debate, Kirby did make a version but I understand the issue was accuracy? Now Dave did make a single shot light 20mm with a very long barrel that was accurate to 5km! how about necking that down somebody? [/QUOTE]
