.375-.338WM Questions - 06/22/18
Got a nice Win. 70 in .338 Win. Mag. that is not a particularly good shooter,really have to be kind to it to get 1.75 moa groups.Just about every combination under the sun has been tried and a lot of frustration to boot.
Been wondering if anyone has tried a .338 Win. Mag. opened up to .375,seems like a sensible round for Africa or other medium heavy game.I especially like not having to battle feeding problems as the new cartridge should feed well.Don't know that reboring the existing barrel would work as muzzle diameter at 24" barrel length is only .615",would have to go with about 20" barrel to make a muzzle diameter of .675".
Could 2500fps be feasible with 300 gr. bullets? RL15 or something similar might be good! Any votes for a .416 Taylor? Thank You!
