[QUOTE="Topshot, post: 667753, member: 13285"] I shot the .408CT in a Barker Machine Works rifle. Now against the 416 McMillan the difference was in the portability of the two systems. The .408 came with a 28" rifle in a single shot configuration on an XLR stock. This rifle could be packed into some remote hunting areas if you wanted to. The .416 McMillan system on the other hand is what I would call a truck rifle! Bloody great ballistics but I would not like to cart it very far in the bush. Now the thought of improving the standard .408 is interesting but due to the bore size to case capacity, I dont think you would gain much velocity in a 28" barrel? I could be wrong. [/QUOTE]
