[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 330364, member: 2736"] Yes. But I would not recomend anything built on the this cartridge because of cost and availability. If a shooter is "asking" what to buy/build then some wildcats are not the best choice. After owning a few reasonable wildcats (Those that are easy to form and load) then a person can make an educated decision as to what caliber/cartridge to go with. I have been shooting for over 50 years and was interested in the 416 Barret . But after checking in to it I found That there was no brass available, no bullets available and the only way to have ammo for a already expensive rifle was to purchase it from Barret (at unbelievable prices) Over $10.00 a round making the 50 Browning a much better option. The Barret is a proprietary cartridge and everything has to be purchased through them including dies and anything else that you would need to reload. The point is ; Why recomend something that has a high difficulty factor not to mention the cost for the first custom long range rifle. In fact I would recomend a factory chambering and in a custom package that would knock the socks off first time witnesses at the ranges. This way the poster can have a rifle that will impress and perform with minimum problems. Just my opinion for what it's worth. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
