Accuracy
The M300 Intervention is one of the world’s most accurate long-distance bolt-action firearms, thanks to its patented Balance Flight Projectile, which has a low-drag profile and a sectional density optimized for extreme long-range shots.
The Balance Flight Projectile’s design provides accuracy and precision beyond the conventional ballistic coefficient, making it the world’s most accurate and precise long-distance bullet. It is made from solid copper and is designed to reduce wind drift and drop. This unique design provides a more predictable trajectory at longer ranges, making it a favorite among long-distance shooters and snipers.
Performance
The CheyTac M300 Intervention’s exceptional performance is due to its high muzzle velocity, long effective range, and the accuracy of the Balance Flight Projectile.
The .408 CheyTac cartridge can produce muzzle velocities of up to 3,200 feet per second (980 m/s), while the .375 CheyTac cartridge produces muzzle velocities of up to 3,000 feet per second (910 m/s).
Combined with the Ballistic Computer and wind meter devices, the CheyTac M300 Intervention can engage a target successfully at over 2,500 meters with precision and accuracy, making it the perfect rifle for long-range shooting and sniping.
