Pretty sure that would travel from tip to tail of about anything here in Misssissippi. Way cool.

Looks like I'm going to stick with my 260 Accubond load. Went out and did some long range shooting with the new rifle and got a pretty awesome 3-4 inch three shot group at 400 yards. I have a leupold CDS dial made for it and it works perfect. The dial actually takes me out to 600 yards but I'm not sure my bullet would be traveling fast enough to expand. Bring on the elk!!

Redside,
Cool rifle. I just had my old Sedgley Springfield rebored to the standard 375 Whelen, which is the 375-06 with no changes other than bullet diameter. I haven't shot mine yet but have gathered an immense stack of bullets with which to develop loads this winter. We'll have to compare notes on load development.

Mart, who do you use for your reboring?
I just had an old 338 Win Mag rebored into a 35 Newton by JES, wondering who else does the work.
That 375 Whelen sounds very slick!

Mart That sounds like a plan.

Yeah, seems the same here. Glad to hear of others using him as well with good experience. His rifling looks excellent. It'll be awhile before I get to shoot it, but it looks first rate.

I've got and old shot out M700 here that I have been thinking of sending to JES just for the fun of it. THAT looks like a bunch of fun. Very cool round.

Friends and I used the 250 Sierra's in big cartridges at 3000+. They work quit well. Should be just fine wt 2700 or so. Also, I used them in a 375-06 improved with a 20 3/4" barrel. Short, handy, powerful. Got over 2700 but the pressure was likely high.
