[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1196564, member: 7999"] Ok the decision has been made. I was looking up the contour of my old barrel to have a 375 contoured to the same so it will drop into the stock. The old barrel is a Lilja #7 30". So I was on the Lilja site to get the dimensions and thought I would just take a quick look at what he had on hand. Uh oh, there sits a 30" .338 Sendero contour in a 9" twist. At my elevation this will stabilize the Hammer Hunter 307g. The barrel will be at my door on Fri. I will be doing 338 Lapua imp 40* shoulder. Should be able to push the 307g Hammer Hunter to 3200 plus fps. This thing is gonna shoot to the curve of the earth. Looks like I will be making a trip down to Dillon to see Bigngreen so he can get this all put together. Since I got the 338 barrel Brian is getting the 375 to go with a 700 action that is sitting in Bigngreen's shop. So in the end we will still get to play with the .375. Steve [/QUOTE]
