Fired the .375 this mornin'

[Jim]

The dies came in, so I was finally able to get a few rounds loaded for my .375 Winchester. I started with a Lyman 375449 over 30 grains of IMR 7383 and a standard large rifle primer. Very light flattening on the primers, no leading and very minimal powder residue in the bore. No unburnt powder left over, so that tells me I'm real close to the sweet spot.

This is gonna be one fun rifle to shoot![smilie=w:

My .375 marlin,is turning out to be the most accurate levergun i own.Very happy with it.

Now im wondering how them long barrelled cowboy guns shoot,in 38-55...........always more wants,then the budget will allow.....

Well guys I went the other way years ago now I found a .375 winchester that had been used hard and needed some work. So I picked it up for a good price and then put a 26 inch octagon barrel on it, new wood new finish and I just love it. I also have a another that is original with short barrel it was just in too good a shape to redo so I found my donor rifle and ended up with 2 nope neither is for sale as long as I such air.
