26" bbl 3050 fps according to Nosler book. its a hammer too
Barrel length and velocity?
With a 31 inch barrel I'm at 3130 FPS with Reloder 16 and a 270 grain bullet
You are right!I'm not trying to marginalize your ballistics …..but that seems pretty tame!
I'm running 270 LRX's from my AI (substantially less case capacity) with a 24" barrel……developed in temperatures above 90 F to 3100 mv. Admittedly, this is on the edge of too warm…..but appears to be safe!
If you're interested in more velocity, you may consider a slower powder…..you should have plenty of case capacity! I'm pretty sure than something with a burn rate approximating RL 19….should give substantially higher velocities. You may even try something along the burn rates of RL 22…..though it may require quite a bit on powder compression!
Just answering a question that I wasn't asked! I hope that I didn't offend. mem
just put my 4th firing on ADG brass with a fairly stout load, no problems yet.Hat off to you all for carrying the banner on the 375 RUM.
Is there a consensus yet in brass? Bertram or ADG considering availability and overall performance/ longevity?
Bearman375, what are your velocities with the 250 Sierra's?I've got 2 375 RUM, both 26" tubes. A Montana rifle co. and a Remington with Lilja bbl small custom muzzle brake, bedded in a HS Precision stock….
I've been playing with the 250 grain Sierra spritzer over 101 grain H-4831…it is an excellent, accurate bullet under 1/2" at 100 yards. Only kills have been a chocolate bear and a coyote at 200 yards on the run.
What bullet do you plan/want to use?Anybody have a 375 Rum Reamer for sale or rent ?
Maybe sammi or even something with freebore !
I just stumbled across my large pile of 375 Rum brass , it got me excited again!!
Send me a message please !
