[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 106341, member: 10"] ArthurJ, Yes she will be pretty mean looking when finished, hopefully its performance will be even meaner. In this 40" barrel, I suspect 3300 fps will be practical with the 350 gr ULD RBBT. That will be good for almost 8500 ft/lbs of energy!!! Will be packing right around 1700 ft/lbs of energy, at 2000 yards [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]!!!! At 1000 yards it will have over 3900 ft/lbs of energy if we can reach these numbers and the BCs hold for this bullet. That should be able to anchor some big game with good shot placement. At 2000 yards she should only be 600 ft/lbs behind a 750 gr A-Max from a 50 BMG at 2700 fps which is a serious load for a BMG. Most load to around 2600 fps for shooting comfort. Now if I can talk Richard into building me some heavy 375 cal bullets, the 375 AM will be on its way!!! Well, a bit down the road anyway!!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
