[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1916780, member: 27307"] If you're stating that you already have one EnABELR, then you might guess that the second one will save you money on components and dies. If this doesn't matter to you then you can choose any cartridge which pleases you and suits your needs. A couple of things to consider: I like the Cadex system for these larger cartridges. The difference with the EnABELR is the cost of the magazines. At just about $275.00/each, it could get a little expensive to have more than one for competition. I single feed for ELR practice and competition so magazines don't affect me. However, horsepower costs money no matter which cartridge you choose. The real reason behind the slightly shorter design of the EnABELR is so that the cartridges can be magazine fed: “Knowing the .375 CheyTac produced substantial performance, and that it was just too long for magazine feeding, made it easy to converge on a design for the .375 EnABELR. We just had to make the case short enough to achieve magazine length with the desired bullets, while adding a little more diameter to keep the case capacity similar to the .375 CheyTac. The resulting basic shape is quite similar in proportions to the successful .338 Norma Magnum Cartridge which, interestingly, was selected as the cartridge for General Dynamics Lightweight Medium Machine Gun (LWMMG).” [URL]https://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/tag/375-enabler/[/URL] This then becomes a discussion of being suitable for use by the military by way of being magazine fed, which follows to assure the creators of millions of dollars in contracts even if just for a testing program. This could have a significant impact on both Peterson and Applies Ballistics with regard to production schedules and other commercial product availability. Recent cartridge development and testing has seen several branches and sub-branches of the military and DOD selecting a significantly larger number and wider variations of cartridges for weapons and weapons systems.
