Im intrested in building a Tactical/hunting gun in 375 raptor. This cartridge works of 62k psi. Cartridge is built off 308 case. This is like a 300 BO on steriods. Designed to work in 308 magizines.
It would be built on a savage 308 etc.. Action. Looking at a full tactical chassis from MDT (detachable mag). 16" threaded barrel. Cost would be about 1400.00.
Im thinking this could be a great cast boolit shooter. Neck is a little short @ .2748 but still workable. I want a twist that stablizes heavier bullets for subsonic and 250gr for hog and deer. Im not a hunter but want to go a few times. A 250-275gr lead bullet with huge meplat should be awsome inside 100yds.
Im thinking a good low power tactical sight and slincer after I recover from the build price.
Just looking for an intresting build that would get a lot of use. I like the 308 for parent case
I put a 26" barrel on my ruger precision and it seems a mile long now. I thought about doing s short 308 but like the idea of a bigger bore to burn powder in a 16" barrel. For me a gun like this would get a lot of paper punching trips to the range.
I have been wanting a short barrel chassis gun. Does this sound intresting or not?
