    375/408CT/505gibbs thoughts, 805y deer, 2500y plinking

    I finally got my 338A.M from Kirby this summer. Although I havent been able to try 2500 yards yet, the mile at milk jugs is almost easy. The monster guns are surprisingly easy to shoot. The 300 grain Berger at the velocity that these big guns throw them is amazing in the wind. I wont give up my...

    375 AM/SnipeTac/CheyTec Reloading

    Roy, I am shooting the 338A.M. I am useing the dies provided by Kirby in a RCBS 50 press, they size no harder than any other case that I load. How ever I am only loading 145 grains of HBMG50 under a 300 grain Berger at 3380fps with no pressure signs.
