Kevin Weaver at Weaver Rifles finished my new 375-06. Build as follows: Remington Model 700 KS Benchmark Barrel matching the original contour Remington KS Stock (A McMillan) All metal is Ceramic coated. Talley Light Weights Leupold 2.5-8x36 Entire finished products weights 7.5 pounds loaded and ready to go. Haven't shot it a lot yet just created one load with the Nosler 260 grain accubond at 2600fps. My only 200 yard group was three shot at about 1 1/2 inches. Kevin does awesome work. To top it off I got a decent 4x4 Mule Deer at 211 yard with it last Saturday. Exactly what you would expect from a 375-06 a bang flop. ![[Linked Image]](http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k124/redside2006/IMG_20131012_102439.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k124/redside2006/IMG_20131012_100609436.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k124/redside2006/IMG_20131012_100430067.jpg)

Here is a pic comparing the standard 30-06 to the standard 375-06. You can put away those fears about headspace. Just neck out a 30-06 case and shoot, no problems at all. ![[Linked Image]](http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k124/redside2006/IMG_20131012_163403406.jpg)

JOC was right. The 270 Winchester on a Model 70 is a great combination as is the 30/06 and 375 H&H

Redside what kind of velocities are you getting and w/what bullet? powdr So far I have only worked with IMR 4320 and the 260 Nosler Accubond out of a 24 inch barrel it tops out right at 2600 with that powder and bullet combination. I have a bunch of 235 speer, 250 sierra and 270 speer bullets I will update you on the real world velocities I am getting from those bullets as soon as I can get out of the house. If I was guessing I would bet 2800 with the 235, 2700 with the 250 and 2500 with the 270.

" 2700 with the 250 " that would be the ticket in my book. Between the 260 gr at 2600, the 250 gr TTSX or GMX and the Sierra there isn't much you can't do.

looks nice and Im sure it will perform well, Ive used a 35 whelen with 250 grain speers for decades and the two cartridges can,t be that far apart in performance

Cool rifle project, looking forward to your report.
Men ocassionaly stumble over the truth from time to time but, most pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing happened.

I don't have any pictures to share but I took my load of 58 grains of 4320 with the Nosler 260 Accubond which was running about 2589 fps today and shot a three shot group at 200 yards. It was right around 2 inches. Then I took the Sierra 250 Gameking loaded to the same 58 gr of 4320 which gave me a muzzle velocity of 2601 fps with no pressure signs at all and shot a 200 yard three shot group that measured 1 inch. I am going to load some more of the 250 up with 59 and 60 grains. I should get my 2700 fps. Then the question is...which load do I take hunting for elk?
