.375 SWISS P : NEW LONG RANGE CALIBER

[memtb]

I shortened the barrel to 26" and reduced the mv (a guesstimate) to 2700.

By my math…..the recoil in 10 pound pkg (73 ft/lbs) would be doable but not comfortable, especially from the bench. In an 11 pound pkg…. the recoil (66 ft/lbs) is much more tolerable, 8 ft/ lbs more than my rifle, but the pkg would not very comfortable to carry all day!

Life is full of complicated decisions! memtb

I shoot a 50cal once in a while.

Of course it it will have a brake. A CAN is a different problem. 375 CheyTac rated CAN.

Barrel is going to be 30 - 36". I have one of each. That extra 100-200 FPS is needed for the games I want to play.

Probably add weight to the stock. Which is a new thing since 2019 but makes sense. See if I can get it up to 17lb. Add a heavy ARCA rail. Brass weights on the side of the stock.

I don't know where my bigger scale is to see what the 338 Edge Weatherby weighs. If I use a Weatherby 338-378/460 action, it will be interchangeable in the stock with the Edge. Which was an idea I played with. One stock, multiple barreled actions. It's all single feed games so mag box doesn't matter.

I may spin a barrel up for my DT with this.

If I had known, I would have kept mine.

felt recoil…..in a reasonably weighted "hunting" (carry) rifle! If it ain't all day "toteable" (my made-up word) …..I'm no longer interested!

Well, I don't think it's generally totable. The "OEM" rifle maker has it as a pretty serious duty rifle or ELR competition. Competition is where I am going with it.

Raven Rocks had 375 Swiss RUAG ammo on sale for under $4/round. Interesting looking cartridge.

I would only consider it as a hunting rifle, so it would only see minimal shooting from the bench….and not a lot in the field when hunting.

In a 10# pkg….it would be 14# more recoil than my hunting rifle. Like I said…..doable but not pleasant!


I'm not really shopping, merely found it an interesting cartridge! I think what I have will do anything required of it! memtb

Definitely that. For a "totable" in that class I'd go with a 378 Wby. Everyone needs a mammoth rifle incase they come back in season.

I'm not a big fan of Weatherby's, for an assortment of reasons. I'm only giving up about 100 to 150 fps mv with 2" less barrel length….in a 9 pound pkg.

I'm kinda like'n what I have! memtb
