BLACKBIRD barrel break-in--375 Cheytac Benchrest
- Thread starter birdog
- Start date
Been a while but I think the groups were similar and I just went with the lower powder charge since there was no increase in velocity with the extra grain of powder
rifletalks.com did an article on my Black Bird

Meet the 375Cheytac 'Blackbird' By Randy Dawson from Tennessee, USA
We kickstart My ELR Shooting Story with one heavy BR rifle for ELR shooting. Check it out.

We caught a calm wind day and shot the Blackbird at 1 mile and then on out to 2500 yds. Very pleased.
The next day I put a NF Beast on it to have enough elevation to reach 3,000 plus but the wind was so high it was blowing things off our benches. We did take it to 1 mile though in the terrible wind and we broke a head size rock into several pieces. I hiked out and collected the pieces and brought the rock home

My cousin in Maynardville Tenn has a similar P/U. It was dark green from the late 60s till a few years back, but he tells me he painted it a modern Camaro color. i haven't seen him in a while, I need to get up to see him. when we were younger he would that my brother an i for a ride in hid 66 impala I always thought he needed new tires after he took us for a drive.
Back in early January four guys from Gallatin / Hendersonville area of Tennessee came up to the DOME with a couple of AR-50's. They wanted me to bring the Cheytac out . I put a scope on it and took three shots at 100 yards to zero. Then at 800 yds I took two shots and dialed the scope in to zero. I told the guys to watch the Ole Chuckie. One shot and center punch. Knocked Chuckie out of his stand.
