[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 111590, member: 10"] Dave, I have the reamer print all drawn up, just waiting for Richard to get the dies to make the heavy 375 cal bullets. Not sure if that will happen of not but I will keep hounding him about it. I really like the idea of a 375 to 400 gr class bullet in the 375. A 375 to 380 gr class bullet should easily stabilize in a 1-10 twist if the 350 gr 338 bullet will. BC should be in the VERY high .800 range and velocity should be in the 3200-3300 fps range depending on barrel length which with this caliber would not need to be overly long, 32-34" at most I would suspect. Even a short 30" pipe would get amazing results with this bore diameter. Could you imagine a 380 gr 375 bullet with a BC of say .850 and a muzzle velocity of 3300 fps. Thats almost 9200 ft/lbs of energy at the muzzle. Sleep tight!! Ya get used to staring at the ceiling while in bed, it can cost you alot of money though!!!
