Howdy Cybervirus,
I put together a 375 taylor recently, which is the 338 win mag case necked up to 375. Really wanted a 375-284 but already had the standard length action which was a 7 mag. The gunsmith I use had a 375 H and H reamer and a 338 win mag reamer. By careful use of both we made the 375 taylor.
I used it in SC with Rick Smith just a few weeks ago. Thanks Rick! It was downloaded with the 235 speer going a mere 2400 fps. It hammered two deer with little damaged meat.
The other loading is with a 260 nos BT with much more punch. It is going 2650 or so. (discovered that velocities of 2800 with this 8 lb rifle to be over my threshold of recoil) Will be used on elk this dec.
Just as you think you want a 375, so did I. I wanted the giant holes for blood trailing them in SC. Didn't know a thing about better bullets. This particular sized case lends itself well to downloading as well as duplicating the 375 H and H in a standard length case.
Always fun to put together a wildcat to fit your needs.
