[QUOTE="JackRabbitSquare, post: 22997, member: 635"] As far as i can tell the only real thing the 408 has going for it is long range competition. I would doubt the military would pick up such a new round with limited production, availability, extreme cost, and limited applications. I personally like the idea of the 408, it uses less powder for long range as compared to the 50bmg, it has more precise brass and bullets. For long-range competition i think the round would do well. I just don't think it has a wide spread military application. I personally would like to get a 408 as well as a 50BMG, but like the military I am a little leery about getting into an expensive rifle whose bullets come from a single manufacturer. [/QUOTE]
