[QUOTE="AKGuide, post: 1295118, member: 64701"] I'd go with the 300 A-Frames for chasing bear and look into cutting edge bullets 300 grainer for your long range work since you are getting a 12" twist barrel. You will have to single feed them, but at longer ranges you normally have longer to setup. Loaded rounds would be 3.981" long. Both bullets are virgin copper so fouling shouldn't affect accuracy of each bullet as long as the same powder is used. The only problem may be a big POI shift. I built a .416-.375 RUM after walking up to my first coastal brown bear I guided. Felt a little under gunned with my 350 Rem Mag loaded with 250 grain Barnes at 2500fps. They are very impressive animals I must admit and your 375 RUM will be some bad medicine. My .416-.375 RUM throws 400 A-Frames at 2650fps and 340 grain cutting edge bullets (0.780bc) at 3028fps. Interesting thing is when the A-Frames are zeroed at 100 yards the CEB's are 10MOA high making their zero 600 yards. Be pretty cool if your setup did something similar using these components. A previous post asked how accurate A-Frames and similar hunting bullets can be so I added a pic. If the rifle is put together right and you find a load the gun likes they can shoot extremely well. On the right is a typical group, if I do my part, with my 1-4 Nightforce at 100 yards. Reuben [/QUOTE]
