Yeah. Once it warms up a little I'll get out there. Load development in 4° weather isn't very fun.
Kind of day where you sit inside and load ammo.

Too many people in the warmer places!

I don't know... I know plenty of warmer places lacking in people.
No way. These temps help keep the riff raff out. Hopefully more of them move out of state after this winter.
True story. Unless you're rich enough to own a private island.

I mean... it is a thread off running the 375 EnABELR. So I would assume you are rich at these ammo costs
Heck, this rifle has taken me almost three years to complete.I mean... it is a thread off running the 375 EnABELR. So I would assume you are rich at these ammo costs
Well, I have 50 rounds down the tube finally.
First time I went out was -1° so I didn't do too much shooting. I was on paper, but the scope was bottomed out and I was still hitting almost 18" low, and this was on the 300 yard line. So, I took off the 60 MOA rail and put the other rail on. It said 25 on it, so I was scratching my head because I ordered a 40.
Went and shot today and was chasing my tail all over trying to get on paper. Turns out it was a 40 MOA rail, because I dialed up to roughly 26 MOA and was back on paper.
Top speed was 2948 with 125.5gn's of Retumbo. I'm going to back it down though since I was getting pressure signs.
Going to have to get a custom sizing die made. Had a replacement sent after the first one was rounding off the shoulders and the new one I have seems to be much tighter. I ruined two cases because it sizes them so small.
Did some measuring on a brand new case and it measures .002/.003" smaller than my fired case.
New case at the 200 line is .6545"
Fired at the 200 line is .656/.657"
This lines up with my reamer print at .659" for the 200 line.
I did see that PTG has an EnABELR II reamer out.
EnABELR (Custom Fit) II Chamber Reamer (Live Pilot)
ATTENTION: Original Manson reamer was large; this print fits the brass with record results.

I would be concerned with crippling them. Agree with earlier comment, something bigger would be more humane.

Kind of day I'm thinking about moving south
It was -35° one day when I got back to the truck from being out on the trapline.
Got a 32lb wolverine that day.
