If you like big projectiles, you’ll love the .416 Hush Puppy round by AM-TAC Precision. I had the chance to talk with Damon, the designer of the cartridge.

GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY. My dorm room was smaller than these projos!

The .416 Hush Puppy is based on a .50 Action Express cartridge and fits a 450 grain Hornady .416 bullet. The round is meant to be fired suppressed, and according to Damon has an extremely flat trajectory.

AM-TAC will sell a barreled AR upper in a 10.5″, 14.5″ (pinned to 16″) and 16″ barrel length. The upper uses a 7.62×39 BCG that is made out of a durable stainless steel instead of the usual carpenter steel entry-level AR bolts are made out of.

Damon told me to only use USGI mags, which are inexpensive and plentiful, due to the lack of a rib found in other AR mags such as those made by Magpul. A 30-round 5.56 mag will hold 10 .416 rounds, and a 20-round AR mag will hold 7 .416 rounds.
 
hmm thanks for that.........I'll add it to the list for when my 510 whisper is finished............
 
Info from ar15.com

Based on that info (at 1000fps) and a 100 yd zero you get...

50 yds: +3.7" (972.4 fps)
150 yds: -12.9" (959.7 fps)
200 yds: -35.2" (947.6 fps)
300 yds: -109.2" (924.9 fps)
400 yds: - 223.8" (904.0 fps)
500 yds: -381.0" (884.6 fps)

I am assuming this is from a ballistics program. The thing is that published BC's for bullets are not valid outside of a velocity range and nobody quote BC's for subsonics. I did some measurements and did the calculation and discovered that the BC for subsonic velocity is much higher than for supersonic velocity which makes sense as there would be much less resistance from the air.

Even so, looking at the numbers quoted here, the thing only loses 100 fps over 400 yds. Thats fricken amazing. Now you still are gonna have to deal with the artillery like trajectory and nasty wind drift but this round would be a very serious threat out to some pretty impressive distances.


No idea but I'm thinking that anything within 100yds is going to have a bad day.

I would give it 300 - 400 yds effective range at least and that is an awfully big bullet to rain down on any target.
 
Free market capitalism, gotta love it.

If they can make it, and sell it to people who want it, more power to 'em.

I think it's about the most ridiculous thing ever, and would never even consider it, but that's me.

I've said and though that about a lot of things......but a shooter is a shooter and that's all that matters at the end of the day.......
 
Geez what's with all the hate? Conceptually no different than a .300 Blackout which every operator wannabe is jumping all over these days. When you're dealing with subsonic velocities, you want to be throwing the heaviest bullet you can to maximize energy. This round appears to do that.

However...

In your first post you said it has a flat trajectory. So which is it?

It's flat out artillery fire........381 inches drop at 500 yards, my 6mmbr drops like that at 1000...........so for 500 its as flat as my 6mmbr at 500, and that's considered to be a flat shooter.......so I guess it just depends on what scale your shooting as to weather its flat or artillery fire...
 
I don't think there's enough powder in that case to impart 1000fps velocity.
"extremely flat trajectory" ? on a 50 cal bullet?
I don't think so.
