Dropped off the new barrel to @Barehandlineman11 on Friday night. And got a brand new gun by Sunday night??? EPIC

End up finishing it at 26" instead of 24" because I had .760 OD muzzle brakes and that's where they matched the contour perfectly. A little extra speed never hurt anyone lol.

This is a 1-9 twist #6 contour brux, with the shank shortened slightly. This SHOULD be the barrel I hunt with this season 😅😅, so he went ahead and cerakoted this one haha.
Looks awesome. I love the color combo with the spiral flutes.
 
Ran out real quick this evening even though conditions sucked, just to shoot the lands in so I could give a good cleaning before the next good weather range trip. Looks promising!!

The first 5 shots out of the gun with some 180 ELDM loads. First hit high, and then a 1/4 MOA 4 shot group at 107 yards. Always a good sign!

You might be shakin' buds off those trees… careful, I can tell they aren't planted for shade.
Almond, pistachio by chance?
 
We need some info or a thread on the 375 Norma…
It's got a 22 inch 12 twist proof barrel. RBROS action.
I have been using 423 Dakota brass from Lapua.
In the early days of the 338 NM wildcat endeavors there wasn't any good brass that could handle what was needed. I found a process to size down and neck turn brass then Fireform them.
Anyways the 375 rbh pushes 270 grain shock hammers @ 3000fps.
It's my guide rifle and has proved itself over the years as a very reliable and easy tool for me to use.
It's been beat up, wet from rain and river rafting, snow, mud, grim and grit. It keeps up with the demands.
