There is the 375 and 416PGW, but any 458 or other yet? Karl. | ||

Or 50 cal for that matter? If this thing takes off, I'm sure we'll see a few. There's a guy making a 338, expects to get 3400+ from 300g and 34" bbl. Not sure I'd want to fire anything that had that much powder behind it! I'd like to see a little .28" .308 cal made off it, just for the experiment. Should hold almost as much powder as the Ultra. Put that in a Model 7 and smoke it. (Of course, that's the problem for any of these 'cats: finding bolts to hold the casehead.) | |||

Best wildcat is to use basic Chey-tac case which is long and do what I could do, which is, my belted straight 550HE. Case same length as my long 458HE.Building first ones now using long Nyati basic brass.Ed. | |||

I don't know what the capacity is on the CheyTac but a 338 300 gr. bullet at 3400+ isn't that impressive, atleast it doesn't seem like it's as fast as it should be. Give me 5 more inches of barrel on my 338/378 (which would make 34 inches) and I could probably get there. Could be that the 338 just isn't an efficient bullet combo for that case though. | |||

At .408 it is close to overbore. If used for my 550HE it would get a 500 gr bullet up near the 3400 mark.That is wildcatting to me...Ed | |||

Ed what ballistics do you reckon for a 458 version of the chey tac? 2750fps with 500gn at normal barrel length(26")? Karl. | |||

Karl-Yes it should do 2800 with 500 gr.I have been checking on getting Cheytac basic long cases, and hope to be able to get it.Ed. | |||
