New World Record Group Shot At 2,321 Yards CheyTac® M-200 in 408 CheyTac®
Arco ID — July 13, 2004, A USMC Sniper team today has set a new world record for smallest group size at distance. At a measured range of 2,321 yards the team fired a three-shot group measuring 16-5/8 inches. This feat was accomplished with a CheyTac® M-200, using the 419 gr. 408 CheyTac® bullet. The shot was taken from a prone tactical position, shot off of uneven ground. Ranging was accomplished with a Vector Laser Range Finder, environmental data was collected with a Kestrel hand held weather station, and slant angle was measured with a Suunto wrist computer.
All of the data was entered into a CheyTac® Advanced Ballistic Computer™ which provided the precise firing solution to the team.
The ABC™ is the military big brother of the CABC™, Civilian Advanced Ballistic Computer™, now available for hunters and target shooters from CheyTac®.
The shoot was conducted at the CheyTac® training facility located in the region of Arco, Idaho. Reported wind during the record setting shoot ranged from 10-15 MPH.
“This is an amazing accomplishment,” stated a CheyTac® company official, “as the record was set with a tactical arm and under tactical conditions. This is 80-lb. bench gun accuracy, but fired from a tactical prone position on the side of a mountain in wind.
Needless to say we are very pleased.” Cheytac® Associates, LLC, produces advanced ammunition, small arms, and ballistic computer systems for the Military, Law Enforcement and Civilian markets.
