[QUOTE="dakor, post: 872339, member: 2204"] I built a 375 Rum with a 10 twist 26 inch barrel. I am running 350 SMK's a little over 2700fps. I have shot it out to 1020 yards and with this combo it is not limited to short range at all. My buddy that lives in Wyoming has taken his 375 rum out to a Mile with the same combo and he is running a 28 inch barrel and is pushing the 350 SMK's around 2800 fps. Accuracy in my rifle and his is about ½ MOA. My rifle weighs 6lbs 10 ounces bare gun his is about 8lbs bare gun. My same buddy just built a lazzeroni 9.53 (375) with a 27 inch barrel. Over the Oehler 35p he is averaging 2916fps with the 350 SMK's and has fired the same cases 4 times with that load and they are still doing fine. He has shot this load combo all the way out to a mile with very impressive results and they appear to buck the wind better than the 300 Berger’s out of his 8.59 (338) Lazzeroni Titan. When you can split a basketball size rock in half at 1200 yards with one shot with that 9.53 that has shrugged off 300 rum's with 230's and 338's shooting 300's over the years that puts things in perspective. So if you feel you want more than the 375 rum and do not wish to step up to the Cheytac size cases I would look at the Lazzeroni or even the 378 Weatherby. [/QUOTE]
