Mrgoat, back40sniper and daddylonglegs can attest to my culinary skills from when they attended the Schuetsenfest a couple years ago..............now let's get back to the point at hand........GUNS and specifically the 375 Imposter/Newdle.

Sorry Hoyt hossenpheffer wasn't part of my repertoire....seafood fettuccini Alfredo was, with gobs of huge bay scallops and large prawns, as was pork tenderloins in mushroom sauce with mushroom brown rice, I believe I made chicken cordon bleu once, sal####er boiled lobster with the fettuccini , my lemon poached Atlantic salmon and rice once, several steak nights with either filet or prime rib steaks and I'm sure I did my prime rib roast with peppers, onions, mushrooms, potatoes (all cooked together in the roaster) and asparagus with a cheese sauce. Can't remember if I did my special stuffed potatoes one night or not..............anyway enough about food and cooking I thought this was a gun discussion site.............

Sounds tasty....Sorta "advanced housewife" style cooking.

Well gentlemen I am doing the first round of loading for the 375 Imposter testing and have found my first flaw with the cartridge/rifle combo.........one cannot seat the bullets out to the lands and keep within magazine restrictions..........tried several bullets and they all must be .100" from the lands or more depending on profile. I do not have nor do I use round nose bullets so that is a moot point. I tried ABs both 260s and 300s and then tried A-frames both 270s and 300s as well as 300 Parts. Not one profile will come within 100 thou of the lands and still fit the magazine and some are significantly more than 100 thou. So if one were to want to use this cartridge to it's fullest capability the whole short action argument goes out the window really..........so now my question to you guys is do I load for best capability and single load or do I load for the rifle to be used as intended and load to magazine length? I'm inclined to load for mag length and let the chips fall as they may, accuracy and powder capacity wise.
I must also say I have had no such issues with any of the 4 other 375s (3 H&Hs and 1 Wby) I own nor any of the ones I have owned and loaded for in the past.

I load to magazine length with various different bullets and have great accuracy. Some bullets basically seat to "factory" specs and some (like Barnes) are seated further out, exposing a groove or 2.

In my experience, Rugers often have slightly long throats, but it doesn't impair thier accuracy at all.

It's just one of my many talents really.............cooking is very easy, actually, doesn't take much brain power to put heat to food, mix it up in different ways, add some spice and make it taste good. Pretty juvenile stuff in the big scheme of things.

Very true, basic cookery isn't difficult. It's when you start adding science to it to make something the best it can possibly be, that it truly gets interesting.
