Barrett .416 Barrett 450gr MTAC ammunition (brand part no. 17222-R) is Barrett Firearms’ match-grade load built around the Cutting Edge Bullets MTAC projectile, developed for extreme long-range rifles that need to reach targets other cartridges cannot. The 450-grain MTAC bullet carries a higher ballistic coefficient than the load it replaced, and paired with Ruag-manufactured brass and RWS primers, it delivers the shot-to-shot consistency needed for sub-MOA groups. Barrett rates this ammunition capable of hitting targets well beyond 2500 yards, a distance that puts it in a class most rifle cartridges never reach. Extreme long-range and precision rifle shooters running a Barrett .416 Barrett platform load this ammunition when nothing but the biggest number on the range card will do.
