So my cousin just finished building a .270 Sherman, which has essentially replaced his 13 lb rem 700 long range 7mm rem mag. So the 7mm rem mag will likely be rebuilt, and he wants to go big.
So big, long range, and still work on a 700 action, pretty much comes down to a RUM case.
So my question is, does anyone have a long throated 375 RUM to run the 350 MTH bullets or similar high bc bullet suitable for hunting? I'm wondering what kind of velocity you would get if they were properly throated. Of course, this would be a single shot set up. It would be used for cross canyon elk smacking as well as the occasional ELR fun. Wanting to keep it idaho legal, so just under 16 lbs.
Any other suggestions for cartridges are welcome, we are just in the spit balling stage of this build now. It likely won't be for a couple years.
Thanks all!!!
