This is my newest specialty handgun from Mac's Gun works.
I have put 25 rounds through it, from the prone position, with my typical one hand hold.
Lawton action, McRee stock, McGowen barrel, Lawton picatinny rail, Mac brake, Cerakote camo, Vortex Razor HD 5-20 Scope, Vortex Rings.
All the work was done by Chuck McIntosh.
The cartridge is one of Dave Viers wildcats.
Take a 408 Chey-Tac and partially neck it down to .375 and make a false shoulder, fireform it and you have a 375 Snipe-Tac.
Jamison brass, 150 grains of H-50BMG, and a 370 grain Rocky Mountain bullet. What a cool combination.
223 Rem, 338 AX (338 Lapua Improved), 375 Snipe-Tac, 243 Winchester

The BAT Action on my pd/bench specialty handgun is also a switch barrel/switch stock.
McRee stock, 6.5 Leopard (WSM), Krieger barrel 1-8 twist, Mac Brake. MV with 130 Bergers is 3100 fps.
I have only killed dogs out to about 550 yards with it, but it was quite destructive.
Also took a mule deer this past fall at 597.

It is here now!
Spent time doing case prep for the 7mm WSM:
Opening the neck up slightly with the K&M Expandiron die, Cleaning up the necks with a K&M Neck turner, inside chamfering the the case lip, de-burring the flash hole and uniforming the flash hole, resizing the neck with a Redding comp bushing die to correct size. I will still need to uniform the primer pocket but I am almost done with these 200 cases.

It shot really good at the LR handgun match at the end of June.
Almost always shot sub MOA at 500, 750, and 1000 yards for 5 shot groups.
When shooting on steel at 750 and 1000 yards I put a shot near the center of the steel, then watch it print right on top of it or on the edge of it for 3-4 shots.
That was very rewarding.
