[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 896861, member: 22069"] I am on the same wavelength as Lefty7mmstw here. I contacted Hornady regarding this very subject earlier this month, but haven't received any kind of response. In order to get any bullet maker to commit to something like this, there has to be enough volume involved to justify the costs and risk involved. Though the large cased .375's (like the CHEYTAC) offer the most performance, that is a niche market at best. If we are ever to have any hope of there being better options in .375, I believe the bullets will have to be made and marketed toward the most common .375 chamberings and twists in existence. IMO, that spells 12 twist in .375 H&H, .375 Ruger, .375 Weatherby, and possibly .375 RUM. If the response is strong with those, it may be easier to move the arms race along with heavier/higher bc bullets meant for larger cases and tighter twists. With the right bullets, I am convinced that the smaller cased .375's are capable of offering .338 level long range performance combined with the sort of versatility that no .338 can match. Given the platforms that the most common .375's are available in, I think the sales potential for better .375 bullets could quickly and easily eclipse that of bullets intended for the .338 Lapua/.338 RUM/EDGE class cartridges. The .375 Ruger cartridge, in particular, offers some intriguing possibilities given that it exceeds H&H performance in a lighter, better handling 30-06 length action that can be had at an attractive price. A good .375 bullet in a Superformance loading could really turn things upside down. A .300-ish grain .375 bullet with a .750-ish or better G1 bc at a reasonable price (around $1/bullet) would be a game changer. Someone else previously stated that a poll is in order here. I concur. Really, I think two polls are in order. The first poll should concern what .375 chambering people presently own. The second poll should concern what sort of bullet is wanted by .375 shooters.
