The 0.408 Cheyenne tactical is based on the 0.505 Gibbs cartridge and is essentially the 0.505 Gibbs resized to 0.40 calibre (approximately 10 mm). The 0.408 Cheyenne tactical is a developmental cartridge intended to provide a sniper or anti-matérial cartridge whose terminal ballistics approach those of the 12.7 × 99 mm (0.50 BMG), albeit at closer ranges and with less recoil than the 12.7 × 99 mm. Rifles in 0.408 Cheyenne Tactical that can be transported and fired by a single soldier are under development by
several manufacturers in the United States. The cartridge has a straight tapered, rimless, bottlenecked case, is Boxer primed and fires solid bronze Very Low Drag (VLD) bullets to optimise long-range performance. The round is also intended to be used in general purpose machine guns as a more effective alternative to cartridges of the 7.62 mm class. Applications include suitably chambered rifles.
