2.07 mile shot! That is a long, long way out there! Story is on

I've never even heard of a 375 Cheytac (I've heard of the 408...)
Box of 20 rounds of match grade ammo? $142.

That's almost as much as CCI Minimags are going for, these days.
Depends on which senator you ask your AR should be able to do with a head wind of 20 knots all day long.
Only with the front handle thingy and a bayonet.

One of the Cheytac 375 cartridges (believe it is the 250gr bullet) is designed to move so fast with such a good BC that you don't need to hold/dial up to hit a man sized target at 1000yds. The projectile is moving so fast and maintains its velocity so well that you don't need to dial it out that far. Designed for deployed spec op guys. They don't care how much something costs, just if it will help them win a fight.
408 gr .375 Viking (G1 BC=1.537; this Ballistic coefficient (BC) is calculated by its designer, Mr. Lutz Möller, and not proven by Doppler radar measurements)
I can engage a target at two miles without a problem.
No really, I can.
Just not a target smaller than the side of a mountain....
That's beautiful. 1000 yards, no come-ups. Very nice. Lost River make the pills?
ETA: OK, I found this:
It has a ballistic coefficient of 1.54!?!?
Here's what it looks like. It even looks fast, doesn't it?
You can't make ogives this long using the traditional manufacturing process with lead core, copper jackets and dies.

Why the hell kind of scope do you use to shoot 2 miles?
I've never seen/heard of the McCoy book (but I just googled it.) And all the CFD modeling I do is *WELL* below supersonic. But looking at just about everything thats ever been designed to go fast/supersonic they all taper back to a sharp edge/point. Though I know aerodynamics are sometimes far from intiutive, so can you enlighten us on what McCoy says? Im really curious.
