Guest ronin Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 OK guys, I just got back from the coolest long range shooting course I have ever been to. I was introduced to the Chey Tac .408 M-200 Intervention system. I engaged 12" steel plates at 900, 1600, and 2000 yards. I took 3 shots to nail the first 900 yard target. I hit the last two with the first shots. The key to the system is the new .408 Chey Tac cartridge which has incredible down range performance and the ABC ballistic computer system that takes in consideration all of the environmental conditions to include the earth's rotation. The .408 appears to be far superior than the .50 BMG. It's parent case is the 505 Gibbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strut10 Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 The .408 definitely holds a spot in the OTPG family tree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 That is one bad lad! Man you were poking way out there. I bet that was a blast to shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hangunnr Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 The Chey-Tac cartridges were designed from the ground up as looooong range stompers. I'd love to have a bolt gun chambered for this cartridge. Here's a size comparison of the 408 CT with the 419gr copper solid along side the 402gr ball with a 300WinMag for comparison. hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ronin Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 Based on the presumption...I believe I now deserve a promotion to platinum OTPG level? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
257bob Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 From what I have been told this round was developed to allow snipers to legally engage human targets from extreme distances. I think it has something to do with not being able to engage a human target with a 50 caliber round. I am far from a Geneva Convention expert, but this is how it was told to me. All that aside it should also make for an outstanding whitetail cartridge and maybe save someones life from a charging prairie dog.

wtnhunt Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 Sounds like fun. Hitting a 12 inch steel plate at 500 would make me happy, 2000 yards is way on out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Man that would be a blast! Literally! Glad you had fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrAzYCoYoTe Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 I dont know if i would use the Cheytac M-200 for whitetail. But it would be pretty cool for elk or moose or maby even a dinosaur. But i hear its best for bagging humans. :-P. I mean thats what it was designed for right??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ronin Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 Yep, military applications primarily. I am getting my first civilian models in for stock next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
