<gundog98k>.376 steyr cartridge diagram?
Greetings,
I am new (novice) reloader, who does not have any money to spend. Can anyone tell me where I can find a cartridge diagram for the .376 steyr online? Can't afford new manuals right now, and mine are so old they don't have such a "modern" caliber. Also, you gunsmith guys, would this cartridge work through a standard military mauser action? (I realize the magazine box will need work.) Thanks for any advice.

You, Jim, and me, the .376 Steyr Trio!
Instead of Jim or me, maybe you'll be the first to take a Cape buffalo with the .376 Steyr in your custom Mauser. After all, with your longer barrel, you're getting .375 H&H performance out of it.

HunterJimJeffe & Eric,
We will have to organize some sort of AR .376 Steyr buff hunt fantastic adventure!
I heard from a bullet maker that one hunter tried his .376 Steyr on a deceased buff carcas, but I didn't get any additional details.
So somebody will be first one of these days.

jeffeossoDear 376 trio!!
I am telling you, guys, I am just about settled on the 250 barnes X for it's diet when it goes to africa. If the would XLC that bullet, I think that 2700 would be on the menu, and, frankly, I don't think there's a critter than could stop it... and buff is ON THE MENU !!!
Or, heaven forbid, I when the ar buff raffle, my second cape might would be with the steyr..
I truely enjoy the round.. for a big bore, getting 375HH ballistics, it's rather pleasent to shoot.. and durn accurate.
Plains game with 250X.. yeah.. blomp!
oh, yeah, I got the mod 70 safety on it, and rust blued the safety.. looks NICE, feels great
cheers
