Hi all,
I've been a bit of a lurker on here for years now, thought it was time to come out of the closet and ask a question...!
I am thinking of building a 375 Cheytac, or a varient of this such as an Allen Magnum. My question is, what is the current thinking on the correct barrel twist for available hunting projectiles? What is out there as viable hunting projectiles for the 375 other than the 350gr SMK? (high BC projectiles that is).
Those of you that have a 375 CT, AM, or similar, what weight is your rifle? How is (percieved) recoil with your rifle? I am trying to decide what weight to aim to build, my current thinking is 15-18lb bare, is this too light? I will be using a single shot Barnard action, and probably a 32 inch barrel.
Any other considerations, pearls of wisdom would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
