Yup. At 3300 I need 189 minutes shooting at roughly sea level.Joe338ST wrote: ↑Fri Oct 05, 2018 6:21 pmThat is an awesome effort!Discogodfather wrote: ↑Fri Oct 05, 2018 3:58 pm Still stuck at 2700 yards with my .375 Cheytac until the place I shoot opens back up, looking to push to 3300 later this fall.
You must have an 100MOA pic rail on it or one of those adjustable pic rails....

It's a .375 CT Bartlien Barrel, 30"
338 Snipetac is very cool, it has much more application when hunting I agree. It's still popular with long range shooters as well, a few guys I know still shoot it. It was also present at the K02M a few years back. The long range target guys are starting to think, in general, that the larger bullets have advantages in competitions for spotting purposes, both in trace and in splash. Lots of guys, including David Tubb, were using plain old 338 LM and he usually embarrasses all competitors out to the 2400 yard target. He only missed one shot on the 1000, 1 mile, and 2400 target in the 2017 K02M.deerhunter338mag wrote: ↑Sat Oct 06, 2018 1:54 am Awesome set up . I’ve had 2 Stiller action now.one one my 338Rum and currently on my 338lapimp. I’m going a Bat action on my next build which is a 338 snipetac. It might be a Bartlien barrel or Rock creek not sure yet. But I’ll be giving the 2k + meters a go once it ready towards the end of the year.
From a LR hunting prospective the 338 Sniptac is the king. Great range of projectiles you can use with Bergers been at the top of the list. The biggest problem with the 375 CT is the lack of hunting projectiles with high bc that kill. I did here that sierra made a hi BC long range hunting projectile on the grapevine but there’s no sign of it been released or any info been let out. Now if they did... what a game changer that would be. What we did with the sierra smk for the 375ct was modifie the tips and then change the BC on them. They worked great for hunting but at a big cost to make as they needed to be machined for constancy. Some guys charged 1-2 bucks each projectile. Some might say that’s cheap but also add the cost of buying a 1000 projectiles then getting them modified for $2 . No cheap at all. We tried the Rocky Mountain projectiles but found issues with the tips. In the end guys just went the Sniptac.Discogodfather wrote: ↑Sat Oct 06, 2018 11:59 am338 Snipetac is very cool, it has much more application when hunting I agree.

I think at 2 miles the lack of spotting hits becomes the problem, they are even complaining about .375 having the issue as well. Lots of .416 popping up, especially with the barret team.
For ,375 it's all solids these days, I stopped shooting the smk's a few years ago when I finally figured out how to load solids.
