Another new 375 cartridge

So many new caliber offerings these days, what can they do that the old workhorses from days gone by can't do?....nothing. Looks like hunting with the good ol' 30-06 and 30-30's might just become "cool" again. :)
 
:runaway:

Chambered in a new version of the Rem 700, called the Model 700 XCR African - available mid 2008 in a 700 trinyte coated barreled action (like XCR). 22" medium contour barrel w/ sights & w/ barrel band front swivel. brown laminate stock, ADL blind magazine, Limbsaver R3 pad

chambered in the *new* 375 MARUM which appears to be a shortened 375 Rem Ultra Mag to make it same OAL length as a 30-06. The ammo will feature two loads, a 270 grain Cor Lokt Ultra bonded @ 2800 f/s , and a 300 gr Swift Aframe @ 2600 f/s

speaking with a sales rep about the new cartridge he says it was designed to give big bore thump in a easy to handle rifle with recoil levels that most anyone can handle.

Suggested retail is approx $1100 canadian

Nice try. Just enough 'facts' to make it seem believable.;)

manbearpig that is quite the avatar... :D

Whats that old saying a picture = one thousand words...

Truer words have never been spoken...
 
Is there anyone chambering rifles for 38-55's these days?

I briefly thougth about having a 30-30 rebored to chamber the 38-55, because I saw itin a gun mag once.:)

Best go with the .375 Win. so as to use .375" boolits which are more easily attained compared to the .379" boolits required by the standard .38-55 chambering. Make sure the action can handle the 50,000 psi. range of the .375 Winchester though.

It was a passing phase, well past it now. Besides, I don't even think I have a 30-30 right now Laugh2
