I am building two 376 Steers; none of my books has reloading data for it. So if you could send me a page from the Hornady book, if it is in there, I would appreciate it. I have a plethora of powders. Nice alliteration, isn't it? | ||

Thank you; yes it does seem to be a great round, and the real forte is that it fits into any action (ok, it fits in Mausers) without length modification. Slight bolt face open up (.020) The Back 40 just introduced it to me, and now I have to make two of them. Waiting on the reamer. Plenty of power. Doesn't seem to be any drama. And I like the 375 bore. | |||

My Apple won't let me into the site; says it is full of viruses. I don't know about computers to circumvent that. | |||

I have owned 2. The Barnes 235 grn is scary accurate and being a monometal it penetrates like crazy. Varget was my powder of choice 66-67 grains. Mike Legistine actu quod scripsi? Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue.  What I have learned on AR, since 2001: 1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken. 2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps. 3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges. 4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down. 5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine. 6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle. 7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions. 8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA. 9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not. 10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact. 11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores. 12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence. 13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances. | |||

A man of your knowledge, I am surprised you use an Apple! I use an iphone, and an ipad, but I refuse to use an Apple computer. My wife and daughter do. I don't. Apart from laptops, desk computers I have here are all built by myself. Learned about computers the same way I learned about reloading. By doing it yourself. Generally, on a PC, you get a choice of leaving the "unsafe" site, or continuing to it. | |||

Wow, impressive. But I would rather work on guns than computers! I use an Apple because my daughter had it and when she got a new one, she gave it to me. I think it is a 2009 model. It has had 3 batteries but otherwise, works fine. | |||
