[QUOTE="PrimeTime, post: 22975, member: 54"] Hopefully someone has information on the .408 and it's role in the military. I heard some rumors that the military may not be interested and hope this isn't true. It wouldn't surprise me though as top brass seem to be very conservative and against change. I just read that it took many years (over a decade) for the AR 15/M16 to be accepted. From the available info on the .408, it certainly appears like it would make an unbeatable long range sniper round. Lighter and far more efficient than the .50 and uses modern technology and theories in its design. Hopefully one of you has some information on the status of this cartridge. [/QUOTE]
