Here some great bullets from my workshop for the 408.
Very Very accurate.
Interessting: Copper is more accurate than brass.

My company is placed in Austria and we have a lot of mountains and long range shooting is sometimes necessary
Here a pic from a "short range" roebuck. Shoot with a custom AICS in 308 Win with my 115grain AERO copper bullet on a distance of 343 yard. That are standard hunting distances here in Austria.
With a 338 Lapua Mag or 408 its possible to shoot a little bit wider.

Spent a couple of weeks hiking and touring your beautiful country last year. Does your country hold national rifle matches as they do in Switzerland?

The .50 can reach the same accuracy when it`s not made to CIP or Saami Specification !!! It`s a machine gun round and used as a sniper caliber it must get improved on some corners.
Suppressors are not allowed in Austria - I`m not a fan of suppressors. Good Muzzle breaks are more important on large calibers. And important: they must get surface hardened to prevent gas errosion:

There are NO SAAMI specifications for the 50 BMG cartridge.
When selected brass are used in first class firearms, it is an outstanding cartridge.

If you ever get the chance to try one please do so. Too bad you can not own one. They truly help one from saying what all the time when they get older.

In the US it`s different - in most european countries each rifle must be proofed at the proof house (+25% more pressure test) and the chamber must fit the specification. If not - the gun can`t be sold.
If the chamber is made different - which is necessary when old calibers are improved at the throat etc - they must get a wildcat proofing and a new datasheet and cartridge name is needed. Lot of work...
Here our CIP datasheet:

Very true, brakes are the exact opposite, ie murder on hearing.
I fit plenty of older avid shooters with hearing aids. The modern aids are definitely helpful but not a patch on what you were born with. My strong advice- look after your hearing as it's extremely frustrating and inconvenient once you've lost it.

I`m 31 years old and I`ve shoot more than 200.000 rounds within the last years. Also a lot of rifles with muzzle breaks.
But I`ve no problem with my hearing and here is the reason:
- I "never" shoot a round "without" protection !!!
- Also at hunting situations I use a hear protection - no shooting without protection !!!
My prevered protection for the range (Peltor Sport Tac - electronic / great for IDPA shooting because communication is possible):
My prevered protection for hunting (EAR Caboflex):
Good to hear that (if you'll excuse the pun..)
Big boomers that you obviously play with are murder on hearing, even without a muzzle brake.
I cringe when I hear guys say things like "I've taken to using my little .223 because I don't have to wear hearing protection with it.." Any centerfire including a Hornet with eventually ruin your hearing. Obviously it'll happen a lot faster with big boomers.
