[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 21943, member: 34"] Lee Have been asking about the 408 and the legallity of such in match shooting. At the meeting after the Banquet (Carol and I were in Colorado hunting) the question was asked and here is what I have been told. The Rule reads "No caliber larger then 40 "Caliber" may be used at the range at any time." It does not say--No bullet over .400" shall be allowed. The .308 Bullet IS a 30 Caliber round, the .408 is a 40 caliber round. Therefore a 40 cal round ceases to be 40 caliber when the bullet diameter reaches .410" at which time it is a 41 Caliber. The 40 Caliber status is still a 40 caliber even at .409". Unless the wording is changed to say the actual bullet diameter limits of .400", the 408 is a legal bullet for match shooting as per the present rules because it does, in fact, fall into the 40 Caliber status and is "NOT" larger then 40 Caliber.
