Any word from Berger on a 375 cal hybrid?

[Augustus]

151 gr US869:

3207
3205
3214

These were pretty warm, brass got sticky after 4-5 loadings.

That's a darn good ES w/869. I run 869 in a 270 AM and ES is lousy....

Are you shooting std or an improved case?

I'm repointing 350 SMKs with my own design and machined brass point for a 352 gr offering. Believe it or not, the surprised me, they hold original accuracy with a bit better bc.

Pics?

Standard case.

oh hell yes !

Berger went with the correct weights just as I hoped, these are gonna fly in the 375 Mjolnir and 375 Executioner ...... just got another Benchmark bbl, 10 twist light palma fluted and complete with Benchmarks awesome Muscle Brake for the X,
sure hope it's not gonna take as long as the wait for the 195 gr 7mm's

375 rum improved (tejas) 31" 1-10 twist barrel, 350 smk I can get 3000 fps with rl 25 and imr 7828ssc ,but my accuracy load is 110 grains rl 33 (any more powder bulges cases) at 2830 fps, best group is 3" at 960 yards.

Perfect timming, have a new 28 inch tube being installed on my .378 Weby. Can't wait to give these a fly!

any update on these?

I am planning to keep an eye on SHOT next month in hopes of hearing something. One development that has my attention is Sierra's release of the new line of Tipped Matchkings (TMK's).

They are only showing .224 and .308 TMK's for now, but I am hoping we will eventually see TMK options throughout their entire line. A TMK version of the 350 SMK might be just the ticket, giving enhanced bc and, perhaps, enhancing terminal performance enough to make it a legit hunting bullet.

I am also still holding out hope for a .375 AMAX. Though I would be surprised to see anything this year from Hornady, they seem to be clearing some spots in their line by discontinuing some of their older bullets (such as the 300 grain BTSP).

I'll keep developing my 350 brass tip version. Hopefully that'll keep the pressure on Sierra. Kind of like washing your vehicle. Then it rains.

I would be doing the same as you if I had the skills/tooling. But, I don't. Being a mere mortal in the LRH world, waiting on Sierra seems to be my best option. PLEASE keep up the pressure!!!!!!
