[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 381597, member: 10"] I don't think anyone is questioning the rifles quality or the builders ability to make a fine rifle. In fact, if this 375 Tejas is actually getting 3200 fps with a 300 gr bullet weight, the rifle most certainly has been build correctly to handle this pressure. The concern is not with the rifle or chambering, its with the performance claims as they are WAY over what is conventionally thought of as standard or even high velocity for such a chambering. It would be like one of my customers reporting they are getting 3200 fps with my 338 Allen Xpress(lapua based) with a 300 gr SMK. If I say this, I would respectfully and VERY QUICKLY get all over them saying that would be very unsafe to push this chambering to that level of performance. Some feel they can just increase powder charge until they see pressure signs. Well in a properly built rifle, they will not see obvious pressure signs until they are well over pressure. We have to use a bit of common sense here. You can not get X fps without Y pressure and Z bullet time in the bore. Certainly other aspects will effect final velocity output but a throat design will not get you 300 extra fps over a standard throated rifle of the nearly identical chambering. We all need to remain respectful but we must also bring up concerns when we run into them. All of us from time to time need to be throttled back a bit for our own good, me included. [/QUOTE]
