OutdoorHub 04.28.14
The Whittington U School of Extreme Long Range held its inaugural ELR Masters Course on April 14-16. Using .338 SnipeTac, .375 Cheytac, .408 Cheytac and .416 Barrett, rifles, each respective cartridge pushed to their limits in a very controlled environment. The course offered the opportunity to track data at the extreme limits of the projectile in the effort to chart the performance for future analysis.
