| The 50 BMG (Browning Machine Gun) was invented by the famous machine gun inventor John M. Browning and has been king of the hill in the U.S. Military for 89 years. It has also become a big favorite in long range shooting sports in the last 5 to 10 years, as it is a great cartridge. Now other fine gun and ammunition makers are coming up with some super cartridges to compete with the old favorite 50 BMG - 338 Lapua, 408 Chey Tac, and now in stock! 416 Barrett! |
| The 416 Barrett (10.5x83mm) is a shortened 50 BMG: 50 BMG Case Length = 3.894", Projectile = .509" Diameter 416 Barrett Case Length = 3.258", Projectile = .415" Diameter 50 BMG and .416 Barrett have identical base dimensions 50 BMG Projectile normally 660 to 770 grains in weight. 416 Barrett Projectile is a highly aerodynamic, elongated, FMJ with an extremely long steep angle or "OGIVE" (the curved forward part of a bullet). This put a much greater projectile weight in less diameter size for flatter trajectory and longer range. The end result is one big (400 grain) bad boy flying at 3,250 feet per second and generating almost 10,000 foot pounds of energy. Given this, I think I would prefer this marvel at long range (1 mile or more) shooting then the 50 BMG. The jury will be out for sometime as far as using the 416 Barret in a machine gun, but I hope our military tests it in a modified 50 BMG Machine Gun (Hoooooraaaaaaa!) Solid Brass Projectile |
