    Range Report CheyTac CABC

    Re: CheyTac CABC The program you refer to, in the beginning, used Cheytac collected doppler bullet data. The 2 companies split for reasons of their own, and I won't get into. There is no more Cheytac Cabc program. The program Cheytac uses, stocks, and teaches now is FFS from Blaine...

    For Cheytac 408 owners who are having problems....

    Re: For Cheytac 408 owners who are having problems Agree on the no pissing match. It's gets like any other game with both sides playing to win, trying to get the last word in. People choosing sides. Hurting each other, etc. OK, I will make this statement and be done with it. It has...

    For Cheytac 408 owners who are having problems....

    Re: For Cheytac 408 owners who are having problems.... Well it seems most everyone has had their say and opinion, so I will respond since I was specifically named and called out. <span style="font-weight: bold">Headspace.</span> Cheytac did have a policy of headspace at .007" over GO...

    338 Norma Magnum

    Re: 338 Norma Magnum Yeah I know the difference. CheyTac has made some 338 Norma Mag rifles. As the rifles got started, so did the U.S./JI made brass. All 338 NM brass was to have a CheyTac headstamp at that time. JI also put the JI-headstamp on some for direct customer sales. The brass...

    Hunting & Fishing Broke in the new FoxPro Prairie Blaster

    Re: Broke in the new FoxPro Prairie Blaster BBB, Does it have a jack for an external battery? I can't find it on any of the spec sheets, only "install 8 D-cells". Thx, Dave

    Intel Gathering

    Re: Intel Gathering DD above has a good HTI point. As the battlefield changes, so must the tactics. In WWII and Korea if you were talking about shooting "armor" with shoulder fired AP, chances are it had a larger gun than you do! But, bullets were made for this and other similar purposes...

    Intel Gathering

    Re: Intel Gathering Just FYI. There has been 408AP ammo for several years. It's being made, shipped and used now. It's not API, but AP with a 185 gr. tungsten penetrator. It's pretty nasty because of it's speed, and also it's accuracy.

    375 cheytac barrel twist.

    Re: 375 cheytac barrel twist. CheyTac designed the 375/350 gr. solid the same as the 408/419 using Prodas software. The program said 11.5 twist is optimal for that bullet. We forwarded the Prodas spec.s and groove configuration on to Lawton for all CheyTac barrels. That twist was designed...

    .375 / 350gr SMK BC????

    Re: .375 / 350gr SMK BC???? You won't find this bullet in the Sierra manual. It was made special per a CheyTac work order. The Sierra quoted BC is a computer estimate because they never shot the bullet. CheyTac did all testing and final approvals. Actually shooting the bullet and under...

    Movie Theater Movie "Shooter"

    Re: Movie "Shooter" <span style="font-weight: bold">"and what actually stops the forward movement of your particular firing pin."</span> That particular firing pin has very large external stops. It physically can't go any farther no matter the spring tension. The M200's firing pin can be...

    Suppressors Supressor accuracy for long range?

    Re: Supressor accuracy for long range? We use suppressors in every demo, training class, etc. We shoot them in front of cameras at 2500 yards with pretty good results. My thought is, if you have one shoot it...all the time. Of course, I don't shoot a 60#+ rifle made for a concrete bench...

    Rain?

    Re: Rain? As it was explained to me: Look at a picture of a bullet in super sonic flight which shows the sonic "wave". This wave or pressure in flight, will also "part" such light things as rain drops...to a point. We tested the theory in the mid-90's in a place where it monsooned every...

    Cheytac barrel lives

    Re: Cheytac barrel lives Just FYI...I built a 224/284 for the gun rag writter Ross Seifried, for his article in "Handloader" mag. I also built one for my self. It vaporized all light weight bullets except the 55 gr. Nosler when kept about or below 4300 fps. Mostly I used heavy, or solid...
