[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 111716, member: 10"] Jerry Teo, The Gibbs is not really an option as it will not handle the pressure I will be loading to. Obviously the Chey Tac is what I am looking at for the parent case because of its ablity to use high pressures. Lazz brass is to spendy, not great quality in some lots and really not large enough for what I want to do. This new round will have a much larger shoulder then would anything on a Lazz case for much more positive headspacing at high pressures. I do not feel this round will be direct competition to the 338 caliber rounds. Will not even compare ballistically. The crowd I am looking at for this chambering are those that want to get into 50 cal match shooting but just can not bring themselves to pay $5000-$6000 for a match grade 50 BMG rifle. I suspect I could build a heavy bench rifle in this chambering for around $3500 depending on options wanted. Same match performance, $1500 less in the rifle. Not only that, no special presses would be needed to load for this round. As far as the 416 Barrett goes, good idea but not needed. By that I mean, you do not need to shorten a BMG case or even use a BMG case to get the performance that they are getting in the 416 Barrett. Much more efficent options out there that will match this round in performance, we are working on those as we speak as well [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]!! Thanks for your thoughts, very good ones!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
