[QUOTE="Erik Kiser, post: 896890, member: 5052"] I'm no engineer by any stretch but I don't see how you build a 300 gr 375 bullet and get the bc. Up in the mid 700's. Seems as though there are already bullets on the market that fill that niche and also I don't see the 375 Ruger and H&H outperforming the Lapua and Edge. The big 338's are blessed with great heavy high bc. bullets and it's when those bullets became readily available that the 338 caliber really became what it is now. I think the same could happen for the 375. With that being said, I don't think a 400ish gr offering is what's needed. In my opinion the caliber is sorely missing a high bc lead core 340-360 gr bullet that can be used for hunting. It just doesn't seem to exist that I've found and that's the market to start with. If Berger came out with a 350 gr hybrid tomorrow they could sell all they could produce and I think you'd have a rush of guys building 375's from the RUM up. If Hornady does they need to get aggressive with the design in the 350 range and they'll have a winner [/QUOTE]
