Don't know why but I just got to wondering. Has anybody tried making a short mag or .404 diameter case in 30-06 length, then fireing a .375 bullet? Would this work? Would it be like a .375 H&H in a standard length action?

Go to http://www.shortmags.org/shortmags/ and do a search in the Wildcats section of the forum.

Sounds like a 375 Ar to me

375 Dakota

It's called the .375 Dakota (if you mean .30-06 length). I think they load it to about 2600 f/s with 300 grain bullets.

The olderst is the .375 Taylor which is either the 458 WinMag necked down to .375-caliber or you can take a 338 WinMag and neck it up. 300gr bullet at 2500 fps is standard.

Next would be the 9.53 Lazzeroni Hellcat which is the 30-caliber Lazzeroni Patriot necked up to 375-caliber....300gr bullet at 2600 fps. OAL of this round is 2.8".

Recent wildcat 375 WSM, also 2.8", will get apporx 2450 fps with 300gr bullet.

shortrum to 375...

375 jamison (like 2 gr diff).. 65kpsi, matches the hh
