[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 2885494, member: 8873"] I’ve read about guys building .375 Ruger for long range with 350 grain MatchKings and such. From memory I believe they were getting performance (external) similar to a .308 shooting heavy-high BC bullets like the 215 Berger. It’s slow but the BC really aids in extended range wind deflection and retained velocity. There are lots of high BC .375 bullets, but only a few that would stabilize in what I’m assuming is a factory barrel with the 1-12” twist I read is standard. The 325 grain Cutting Edge Lazer comes to mind, has a G1 BC well over .7 and will stabilize in a 12” twist. Plus it is advertised as expanding down to 1200 fps. Then there are the lighter Badlands Bulldozer 2, they don’t have as high a BC and I believe they advertise expansion down to 1900 fps. Edit: my point is that there are options, depends on where you want to compromise, as I see you having to do so somewhere to get more performance in what you have. [/QUOTE]
