[QUOTE="JeffVN, post: 1297117, member: 2261"] The main problem I see with anything bigger than .375 (that isn't a 50) is finding good barrels and bullets. It is possible a small manufacturer will step up to fill the gap for heavy, high BC bullets and faster than normal twists for the heavier than normal projectiles, but this is a very small specialized market with very little demand on an annual basis (meaning the individual shooters in this realm don't shoot 2,000+ plus rounds a year). I doubt there are 500 .375 cheytac and ELR shooters in the U.S. Demand for product drives the manufacturer's desire to produce the product. Remember the need for a special group buy to get Bartlein to build fast twist .375 barrels? Where are you going to find 10-15 people needing a fast twist .408 or .416 barrel? maybe they are out there, but right now it seems hard enough to find sufficient .375 demand for the most advanced bullet designers and manufacturers to produce products.
