My barrel is in the mail... I should have it mid next week. Bartlein does have an interested way of taking orders for calibers that are not there "bread and butter" calibers so to speak. I guess that's just the price we pay for using there barrels.

Ok thanks. Just wondering if anyone had any details more informative than what I have.

Anyone heard from Bartlein on the status of the .375 barrels yet. I placed my order directly through Bartlein in September and was told my barrel would be added in with your group order. I spoke with Bartlein in February and they said it would be another month. Now it's April and still no barrel...

I think that's the way to go as well. It will at least get me in the game and give me something to stay occupied with for a while.

Hey Augustus good to talk with you. After talking to Kiwi Greg and Rocky Mountain the last couple of days the 12.0-7.0 gain twist is exactly what I was thinking too. I hope to place my order with Bartlein along with you guys this next round. Thanks again.

RM, these four barrels that you are talking about with great performance what twist rates are they running?

Great point which was the essence of my next set of questions. Is it better to start out slow with a 12 or even a 13 twist and work your way to an exit of 7 or 7.25 or is it better to start our fast with say a 9 twist? I know Augustus has a 9.0-6.0 gain twist that he uses from time to time maybe...

Hmmmm. Of coarse you guys never make it easy on the new guy to choose a twist rate. Just giving you a hard time:) I guess I will probably decide on a 12.0/8.0 gain twist or a 11.0/7.5 gain twist. Or even step it up a hair to a 7.25 like you are your friend are running. My thought process is to...

Thanks for the great info Greg. I'm not dead set on only shooting the SMK's. I was advised by my gunsmith to stay away from the gain twist barrels. I'm not sure why as I didn't ask him but I was trying to give credit to him by taking his advise as he is known and respected as knowing his stuff...

Augustus or Kiwi Greg or anyone else with good and recent .375 data. I am planning on building a .375 rifle to start playing with you guys in ELR. I have read about every post that I could find from you and others concerning the .375 bullets and twist rates required by those bullets. I want...
