Description
The 408 CheyTac is a big, serious cartridge, and the brass you build on it matters just as much as the bullet you seat. Peterson's unprimed 408 CheyTac brass is made right here in the USA on a modern case line that leans on current manufacturing technology to turn out some of the most consistent cases you'll find for this caliber. For anyone stretching things out past a mile, that kind of uniformity is the difference between flyers and tight groups.
What Sets Peterson 408 CheyTac Brass Apart
Every case runs through a 16-step production and inspection process that gets watched closely from start to finish. The result is brass with consistent wall thickness and tight tolerances, which translates to repeatable case capacity and more predictable velocities across a string. Peterson also puts real focus on hardness values in the head and sidewalls, which is why their ballistician has reported getting as many as 15 reloads from these CheyTac cases without neck splits or head separation. For a cartridge this expensive to feed, getting more firings per case is a genuine win.
Loading the 408 CheyTac (10.36×77)
The 408 CheyTac, also stamped 10.36×77 on Peterson headstamps, traces back to the .505 Gibbs necked down to .408. It was built for ultra-long-range precision, and the case reflects that with a case length right around 77.21mm, a 10.36mm bullet diameter, and a case capacity near 10.32cc. These ship unprimed and ready for your bench, and they use a large primer pocket. Peterson anneals and final cleans the brass before it leaves the factory, so you're starting with cases that are prepped and uniform right out of the box.
Built for Serious ELR Shooters
If you're chambered in 408 CheyTac, you already know this is specialist territory. This brass is aimed squarely at precision reloaders and extreme long range competitors who want a dependable, robust case they can push with heavy, high-BC projectiles and come back to load after load. It's the kind of foundation that lets you chase small groups at distances most calibers never reach.
