Cheyanne Tactical's answer to the Kalifornia 50 BMG ban. All proprietary. If I lived there, I'd opt for the Barrett, .416. But the 408 did beat them to market by at least a year.

It is my understanding the 408 Chey Tac was just used by a shooter to set a new American (not world) record at 1,000 yards.
I received this information yesterday (August 29th) from one of my Hunting partneres. He had taken his Rifle to a custom Riflesmith in Dillon, Montana where they make Rifles in caliber 408 Chey Tac.
I have seen this cartridge and Rifles made in this caliber several times at this shop over the last couple years - and they are impressive!
I will dig around and see if load data is available from the shop.

Cheyenne Tactical came out with the .408 long before the Kalifornia ban on 50s.


99% of the democrats give the rest a bad name.

The 375/408CT is a great combination and much better than using 408 projectiles and cheaper too.

The 408 stayes supersonic just a tad past 2,000 meters. A few of these are being field tested now in Iraq with better accuracy than the .50 BMG. However, the .416 has em beat with that barrel burner staying supersonic to 2,600 meters.....WOW!
