[QUOTE="Chaddman, post: 984809, member: 78916"] Augustus or Kiwi Greg or anyone else with good and recent .375 data. I am planning on building a .375 rifle to start playing with you guys in ELR. I have read about every post that I could find from you and others concerning the .375 bullets and twist rates required by those bullets. I want Kirby Allen to smith the rifle and chamber it in his .375 Allen Mag. I spoke with Bartlein and they will be running .375 barrels around January 2015 so I want to get on that run list. I was originally thinking about a constant 9 twist barrel but not sure if I want to get into the gain twist game. Kirby Allen seemed to be shying me away from the gain twist barrels a little.
