A friend of mine wants to take his 50 bmg , its a single shot and wants to neck it for a 416 bullet. I know he has to rechamber a barrel for it, but what else has to be done. Is it even possible, does anyone have any info? Thanks

Get a 416 Barrett. No case forming. Dies available. Etc. Etc.

I know that this is a WILDCAT forum and what I am saying is blasphemy but sometimes you have to be practical.

Nothing else should be needed, but I have never heard of this. On ammoguide.com there is a 375-50 BMG, there are dies and everything for it.

I have a 375-50 BMG in my collection. The one I have is called the 375 MACH V. Maybe it really will do Mach V with a solid bore-rider bullet but I doubt it. If I don't forget, I'll post a photo of the 416 Barrett and the Mach V tomorrow.

Ray

thanks all , and thanks Cheechako I will look for them

just sell the bmg and build a cheytac

That would be my second choice also. (After the Barrett).

I don't know about you but I never thought I would find myself recommending that a shooter NOT build a wildcat. All we need now is for Roger B. to say the same.

Ray

both the barrett and the cheytac are standardized, but not quite saami, so really they are cats!!

Wow that 375-50 BMG is sweet. What are the highest BC bullets available? The folks on longrangehunting would love the 375 with a higher than 1.0 BC bullet going FAST. How fast could that 375-50 BMG push bullets?

Rob did a 375x600OK, about the same thing... barrel life is about 2 boxes of bullets

Seriously?
