Just don't tell the 7mm guys they can't shoot 2 miles and out pound the 375 CT or all hell will break loose
Sorry, just couldn't resist

Watched that video 6 times and I believe Kirby is correct ..I only saw one hit and as stated on a 12 ft x12 ft target. Not much to brag about there...Kirby you need to put one of your units together and set up a 3 ft square target at that range and produce real world results..I believe you are 100 % correct on this one..

Kirby,
You can use mine with 300gr sorted Bergers if you want. I have everything needed except the dies and brass...of course still waiting on the gun. I'm assuming it's about complete.
Only Caveats, I have to be there and 3K max. I'm not interested in 2 mile shots. I've been there and done that and beyond enough to know that's not what I'm looking for or need to experience.
It has been my experience that certain bullets will hold precision (grouping) at sub sonic velocities better than others. It is not necessarily the one with the higher BC. So, if it were my goal to shoot 2 miles with precision, I would go at it with this in mind. I also haven't witnessed great precision from any bullet turned in a lathe. If you want it to group at 2 miles, it first has to group at 1 mile. As far as cheytac based cases are concerned, are they even capable of1/4 moa at any range?

maybe we can set something up to reach out 3K. The old place I tested several years ago is no longer available to me so would need to find a new spot.
The Cheytac parent case is more then capable of 1/4 moa. I use this case in my 338 and 375 AM and both have shot a load of 1/4 moa groups. This is my personal best three shot group at 1800 yards fired with one of my XHS repeaters in 375 Allen Magnum.
The three shot cluster measured just a hair under 4" ctc so well under 1/4 moa. The impact at the bottom of the gong was made from 4 hours earlier when I was trying to hit the gong in severe mirage and out of 5 shots, that's the only one that hit. Later in the evening, clouds came over, cooled off for no mirage and no wind, perfect shooting conditions and it showed with a great group as a result.
The Cheytac case is very capable of fine accuracy.
I would agree that I have a preference for lead core bullets for best accuracy over a wide range of different rifles. Solids can be very finicky depending on bore diameter but if the match is right, they can be amazing. Still, the lead core bullets ARE more forgiving over all.
At what range are your bullets subsonic under the environmental conditions you reference 1 moa to 2500-2700 yds?
Glad to hear the gun is almost complete. Some great mornings to shoot this time of year.
