The 338/408 CheyTac ELR pistol project

[Pdvdh]

It tracks straight back with no torque or muzzle jump. I actually have a very soft grip on the gun when I shoot it in the video. My wrists are a little beat up from work and years of shooting large bore revolvers and this gun puts less strain on my wrist than a 357 from a heavy revolver.

What a beast! The pic of you holding the pistol brings the true size and stoutness of the pistol into perspective. Look's like a tack driver, based on the first few shots fired. Should be a lot of fun. Will also turn some heads for sure. You won't be able to shoot it at a range. Too many folks will come over to talk to you!

Very nice Andrew. Looks like it came together nicely, and it's certainly shooting well this early in the project.

Your stock design is perfect! The gun tracks straight back like it's on rails.

I got some velocity estimates last weekend. Since the Magneto won't fit on the barrel because of the muzzle brake I had to calculate the velocity by measuring drops from a 100 yard zero. I used the 300gr OTM fro this since the BC of that particular bullet has been pretty well nailed down to .418 for a G7 BC. Using this BC and measuring the drops at 300 and 600 yards gave me a velocity of 2845 fps. I ran this through the calculator and then dialed out to my gong at 965 and was rewarded with a solid hit, confirming that the velocity is pretty darn close.

Very nice pistol. I know Ernie Bishop tried a 375 Snipe-tac on a pistol, Chuck at Mac Gunworks I think built it for the set-up. But good job there guy. The stock looks very nice.

Have fun
