[QUOTE="VLD Pilot, post: 2429801, member: 103947"] From experience talking to guys that own the 50/416/408/375, the consensus is the 375 is the best all around ELR cartridge. Long brass life and accuracy is excellent. The 416 seems to be the overall best in accuracy at the longest ranges but typically one load brass use. The 50 BMG definitely king of the heap is the most powerful bad *** round but accuracy isn't as good as the 375 or 416. Sure there have been some impressive *** groups at 1000 yards but that's not the rule, it's the exception. This is all info I've received not personal experience. Couple guys that actually shoot in the KO2M Comp's. They both run the 416 Barrett round but claim for most, the 375 is the best all around cartridge. If money were no object, the 416 gets the nod according to the ELR guys. I'd love to step into the 375 but financially no way I could go bigger than the 375. Just can't justify the cost. My 338 LM improved is pretty reasonable even today but at 210-220 grains of powder in the 416 and solid bullets around 2.00 ea, not my kind of party. [/QUOTE]
