    I’ve seen a few posts about Peterson offering 416 Barrett brass some time in ‘25. Does anyone have any more information regarding when?

    Best “match” reamer and dies to use with it?
     
    It was still testing and last person I saw shoot it in a match still had the typical 416 Barrett problems.
    I've only seen a couple pieces for die development. Neck walls are around .017, volume is more than worked up RWS. Rumor is Hodgen is working to make a powder to match up to the task. Did not have permission to section and test hardnesses. I think the increased volume is a mistake. If anything, the lower area needs reinforcement.
