Will this work for the m99?

Postby 51coronet on Fri 05 Jun, 2009 2:25 pm

Being as the m99 ends up being ammo starved at times due to availability I got to looking.
ableammo.com it appears there is some 416 caliber bullets available in a variety of weights.
Has anyone loaded any of these before?

I will also add in I am jealous of the 50 cal owners who obviously dont have as much trouble finding ammo. Also some 50 cal ammo new in box is approx $2 per round instead of the $5 per round the 416 owners encounter with no alternatives.

51coronet-

Yes those tips at AbleAmmo would work in your .416 Barrett but they won't fly as far due to their shape and BC. For the price you are better off going with all the tips listed on this board below. There are a couple to choose from.

You could also call Lin Schryver in the post I have to get fresh factory .416 ammo and it's cheaper than $5/round without shipping.

I would also like to know where you find .50bmg ammo for $2 a round?! Even the yellow tip junk that will blow and corrode your barrel sells for more than that. We would all like to know where you have seen it for that price and what it is for most of us .416B owners also have 50's.

My fault I misread the advertisement for the 50 bmg round. It was $2 per bullet not ready to fire round which seems a little high imo.
