The 416 Barrett was introduced by Chris Barrett in 2007. It is based on the 50 BMG case shortened and necked down to accept a .416-inch bullet, thus requires the very largest action. It is a highly specialized cartridge intended for extreme rangel shooting, and was designed for areas where 50 BMG rifles are restricted. Barrett's ammunition uses an aerodynamic 395-grain solid bullet, producing 3300 feet per second and over 9500 foot-pounds of muzzle energy. The 416 Barrett offers superb performance well beyond 2000 yards, but rifles so chambered must of necessity be extremely heavy...and even then recoil is significant. — Craig Boddington
