Talley-style bolt handle. OEM safety. McGowan 21.5” barrel. I carved the stock and slow rust blued the metal. _____________________ If it doesn't feed, it's junk.

I had never shot one and a friend wanted me to sight his in. On a bench with sandbags it was too brutal for me and he got a 1 shot group… I don't find my No.1 to be too bad. Load development went something like this: Final sight in: In all honesty, I haven't shot it on paper since, but have shot 1 elk with it. Now, a No. 1 458 Win Mag was a different story. 1 round and handed it back to the owner - that was miserable

OGB Campfire Regular O Joined: Jan 2021 Posts: 1,770 NC	Originally Posted by buffybr I built my .375 RUM for a Cape Buffalo hunt in Zimbabwe in 2005. It's a 26" stainless Rem 700 barreled action that I put in a Richards laminated stock. I pillar and glass bedded the action, glass bedded the barrel channel and free floated the barrel, and fitted a Limbsaver pad on it. I then hand checkered the stock with my favorite 5 panel wrap around checkering pattern. The first time that I took it out to the range it kicked so bad that I didn't finish sighting it in. A KDF muzzle brake tamed the recoil enough that I could develop 3 shot moa loads with 300 grain Barnes TSX bullets at 2900 fps. I took it to the Eastern Cape of South Africa in 2007 for a strictly plains game hunt. For that hunt I worked up another 3 shot moa load, this time with 700 grain TSX bullets at 3043 fps. For that hunt I added a recoil reducer in it's shock which further tamed it's recoil enough that I comfortably shot several animals from prone positions. It then sat in my safe until 2021 when I took it to SW Alaska for a Brown Bear hunt. On this hunt I worked another 3 shot moa load for it with 281 grain Hammer Hunter bullets at 3034 fps. 700grs at 3034fps would be pretty sporty! just kidding, jealous of all your hunting adventures. Bore size is no substitute for shot placement and Power is no substitute for bullet performance. 458WIN

Not sure how it's spelled.

It's taken 5 leopards, two or three buffalo, a couple hippos and most of the plains game. Sable, roan, eland, kudu, zebra, etc. Stainless 300 Weatherby turned into a 375 Weatherby with a Lilja barrel. Cerakoted. Took my best buff and a bit of plains game with it. 7STW rebuilt into a 375 RUM with a Lilja pipe. It will soon be off to get blued. It takes a lot to get the RUM shells to feed! May take it to Namibia this year to break it in. BACO Alaskan 375H&H in a Supergrade Featherweight Stock. Stainless Classic, McMillan Supergrade stock. All the scopes are Swaro PHs 1.5-6x 42 in DD rings. Winchester rifles and Swarovski scopes.
