Saw an old episode of 'Future Weapons" on the Military Channel the other day. It had a side-by-side shooting comparison between the Barrett in .50 BMG and .416 Barrett. At a range of 2500 yards, the .416 beat the .50 like a red-headed step-child.

I'd take either......but I'd really like to have the .416.
The way I see it, if you can afford the rifle in the first place, the expensive custom .416 ammo shouldn't be a problem.   ;)

A killing in Mexico with a .50 BMG?  Probably committed by a member of the Mexican military.
