[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1212640, member: 30902"] I would be shooting them in a Ruger Alaskan 20" stainless. Let me see if I can get the twist rate for it and we'll see. I really haven't shot it enough yet to know a whole lot about it other than it's one heck of a hammer even on the biggest and toughest critters out there. So far I've shot nothing but Hornady factory ammo through it and I've shot 300gr DGX, 270gr Interlock, and the 250gr GMX. This rifle does double duty as a dangerous game and large game Rig so loading singles isn't an option for me. It may sound crazy but I'm really seriously considering building a 375 Ruger long range rig as well in the next year or so and when we get there I might look at the .394gr for it. I'm honestly a bit cranky with my otherwise favorite bullet manufacturers for not giving us some great .375 cal high bc, heavy for caliber bonded bullets. Sooner or later I think we'll all be forced into shooting non toxic ammo and to that end I've been fiddling around with bullets like the GMX but man, I hate not having that high density lead core to kick the BC's up and of course the mono metal copper/brass bullets get so long that it's really difficult to get them in a heavy for caliber option to start with.
