Not a new cartridge. That's a 408 Chey-Tac (Cheyenne Tactical). Google it and you'll find out all about it.

Actually, it isn't. From a post by Triggerfifty/Dean Michaels on snipershide:

quote:
ON the subject of 408 brass. Guys should not assume that this round is based on the 505 Gibbs case. IT IS NOT. The outside dimensions are roughly the same, the case head size is the same, but the web thickness, flashhole dimensions, shoulder angles, and of course the neck diameter, neck tension, neck thickness, and a few more items are quite different. If you neck down .505 Gibbs cases and shoot them ( as some sad souls have done ), you will rupture the cases, have case head separation, blowback, possible chamber ruptures, etc. DO NOT USE 505 GIBBS BRASS!




The 408 and 375 CheyTac are two excellent extreme longrange cartridges.
I would probably get a 375 if I could afford it.
