Bob C and I took our Whitworths to the range Sunday.
I had just put Swarovski 1.5-4.5 on the rifle and wanted to try it out.


I had loaded up some Nosler 260 grain Accubond 2nds I had ordered. The load was 58 grains of RL-15 Remington premium plated case and Federal Gold Medal 215M primer.

The 100 yard range was full of hunters sighting in, so Bob and I settled in on the 50. I bore sighted the scope fired 4 rounds to center and then fired this 3 round group.


Now, I repeat it was only 50 yards, but I think I'm going to like those Accubonds!

Rusty, did you buy that gun from Will

Looks like you've got a winning combo there Rusty, stick with it! If it's doing that well at 50 yds then in all probability it will do correspondingly well at 100, etc.

I'm just sighting in my Ruger M77 RSM .375 with a Leupold 1.5x5 VXIII with the 300gr Hornady RN. I'll report back hopefully by the end of the week with results.

Happy hunting...

Paul,
I think I am? I posted it from memory. I'll recheck it and let you know.

I bought the rifle sight unseen from a hardware store up north. A member posted that he had seen the rifle. I contacted them and bought it.

Paul,

I did check my load and I did use 58 grains of RL-15

Quickload data that Jeffesso provided, states that

75%of fill 58.25grains 2211 FPS

I just backed off to 58 grains even. A moderate load for my first trip to the range. I plan to keep it between 2200-2300 for my State side hunting.

Jeff,
Just too happy with that scope on the Whitworth, sorry.

First nice cold weekend we'll grab Bob, Mark and go shoot the Jeffery 475# 2 Jeffery.

I agree with Bob his is LOUD! As mark calls the muzzle break on my Apex, "It's a friend loos'n Son of a Bitch!"

Jeff, Rusty's did recoil more, but it was manageable. Rusty and I both agreed that my magnaported Whitworth was sure LOUD. We tried out some sweet shooting reduced loads, some xmp5744 with 300 fmj's that were great, accurate plinkers. I found a nice cast bullet load for my 375 using a bit of Unique. Maybe a nice short range texas whitetail and pig load. Jeff, I need to give you a call to talk about some shade tree gunsmithing. Bob

Rusty,



My Whitworth 375 is a shooter too. The barrel cleans up very easily as well, I'm very pleased with it. I've been shooting the variety of bullets that I got with the gun and all seem to be capable of MOA groups at 100 and 200 yards, even better, I shoot the gun well, coffee mugs at 100 yards are never safe from kneeling without a sling. I'm going to have recessed swivel studs installed but keep the barrel band too. That way I can sling up for long shots. I put a leupold 2.5-8x on it in talley QD rings since its next trip will be Namibia where I may need to stretch it a bit.

Rusty,
sorry i couldn't make it!! I was enjoying pork fajitas sunday at 1.. and then making the long haul back from SA to houston.

wish I could have been there...

Did Bob notice any difference in true felt recoil between ya'lls rifles?

i'll give you 60 bucks for that scope... as obviously it's just wrong for a 375

jeffe

Interarms barrels shoot as well as any and better than most which makes them an even better bargain.
