Im also curious as to why this is. Im somewhat in manufacturing and can 'imagine' how it would be done. But I've never seen traditional bullet processes to know how far outside it would be to how its done today. Metal pressing can be amazing to watch. Scuba tanks, for example, are made from a small round disc of metal for no seams or welds. Deep drawing something like a coke can that looks simple but is actually far from, is also neat. A dual tapered bullet seems simple in comparison. But a homogeneous core projectile has to have a more easily controlled center of mass close to its center of volume. Any jacket thickness would have to be very controlled to not affect dynamic (spin) balance.

I'm not sure if it is "you can not make these ogives PERIOD" or "you can not make these ogives at an affordable price." My understanding is that once you start to deal with ogives that are more than ~6x length of the bullet's caliber, traditional bullet swaging because very difficult and costs switch in favor of the CNC machining process. I'm by no means an expert, but have heard several bulletsmiths discuss the issue. Remember we are dealing with very small tolerances here, with 0.0003" or less variation in wall thickness being absolutely critical to long-range precision.

No kidding, that's like a 20 minutes round trip. Way to much effort for this hombre.

Why the hell kind of scope do you use to shoot 2 miles?

The article says he used a Vortex Razor HD 5-20x56mm.

I think this makes it even more impressive that it was done with a 20 power scope.

Wow, talk about reaching out and touching someone!

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.

Behold the .375 cheytac

This is a cheytac .375 for a rail gun that is going for the world record prairie dog shot, and yes they are Maryland boys.
