    Decided to use the Cadex Tremor 50 as a base platform for the .416 Barrett Match. Looks like it should be very close to the same fit as my Shadow .375. The barrel is a Bartlein 40" 1:8 twist w/ a T5 brake.

    Found a really good load for the .416. 183 grains of VV 20N29 w/ the 550 laser. Saw too much pressure at 185. This was a 5 shot group from 100 yards this morning. I ended up swapping out the beast for a mil-xt 7-35 and the mount to the new mil adjustment ERA-TAC. Getting 35 mils of elevation w/ a 100 yard zero.

    I think you should just give up!! No chance it will be a shooter...LOL Looks good and with the low recoil it will be easier to spot you own shots at range.

    Velocity?
     
    Awesome setup. I didn't realize how much more powder they used compared to a 375.
     
    Did you have vestals ream and headspace the chamber as well?
    Also, why didn’t you go with a 1:7 twist?
