[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 1183738, member: 2011"] Back in the day that I thought the 270 Allen Magnum would be the cats meow for anything I wanted to harvest here in Idaho I was more than impressed with what a 7mm Allen Mag actually did. With my 270 AM I felt under gunned. Thus for walk and stalk I carried the 338 RUM w/300 VLDs. Desiring to satisfy my hankering for something that was big enough that I would never crave something bigger I made the leap to the 375 AM. Let me say that all yearning for bigger has been suppressed. I too am somewhat left wanting for bullet selection that will bring the big girl into its own. There are some things coming down the pike that will satisfy that. Being one to not settle for what's out there at the moment, I've fallen into making may own projectiles. Or, should I say I'm modifying existing offerings into something better. After my big girl clearly reminded me that all rifles are unique in their tastes I learned that Retumbo is not the only powder for this cartridge. Long story short, what's out there that is significantly bigger, better than a 353 grain bullet chugging along at 3325 FPS MV with an ES in single digits and no pressure signs except a very light click on bolt lift? Case life increased significantly when I began testing US-869 and H-50 BMG shoveled in there to a few grains less than 160. This rig is accurate enough for long-range to ELR for anything from PDs to elfalants.:) Just tho't I'd chime in . . . [/QUOTE]
