Ya'll holding out for reamers and specs ?

its not so much for the 375 ruger people are waiting on the specs but the 395, 411, 416 and 423 peoiple are salivating over...

As soon as the barrel makers offer a threaded chambered barrel for a LR 98 I've got a Zastava built 7mm mag that's going to get rebarreled.

So I still count as zero, but patiently (ok anxiously) waiting.

Weagle

anone yet?

the Fairy Godmother ain't even turned the pumpkin into a coach yet, and you're asking for a report on the band at the dance...?

Patience young Jedi...

My GunsmithKevin Weaver Got a reamer in three weeks ago. All we are waiting on is the Barrel.

I talked to gunsmith today. 60 days out.

He's building one and I'm going to bump another project and get one made also.

I have a .416/375 almost completed I am told by my gunsmith. I will begin stock work in about two weeks or so.

Hi
I am down in Australia and three days ago I received a 375 Ruger reamer from Dave Manson Precision Reamers. Dave also organised a set of Hornady 375 Ruger Dies which arrived with the reamer. I have a Rugger 77 Mk2 in 338 on which I had planned a 416 Taylor. It will now be a 375 Ruger. I am waiting on some cases which Dave is in the process of organising. Hope to have the rifle ready by mid May as i am going to Darwin for about 6-8 weeks and would really like to test it out on the local wildlife population.

Colin,
Hey, hey, hey! We know where to get .375 Ruger reamers now.

That is wonderful humanitarian relief service by Dave Manson, sendings a Care Package like that all the way to Australia. What a guy/businessman! Customer service!

Could you tell us what Dave Manson says the shoulder angle, neck length and shoulder diameter of the reamer are? Oh yes, the length from base to end of neck, and the base diameter of the reamer specs?

Come, now, surely you have a drawing from Dave? A scan and an email might be too much to ask, but please just dribble some reamer specs our way, pretty please.

Or is it brass and dies?

RIP

I have no idea No Spec sheet with Reamer. Have mailed Dave for advice.
The best info I have found so far re Specs is this article http://www.chuckhawks.com/first_look_375Ruger.htm

Hey RIP,

you're a big enough dork most of the time anyway, don't stress trying to be on center stage all the time.

Any competent reamer maker (especially one like Dave) can read the mike all over a loaded round and get the dimensions. Especially if somebody at Hornady gave him some sample brass while he was bumming around the SHOT Show.
I can give you Dave's number and you can ask him, or is that too simple?

As an aside, only dorks give themselves nicknames...the good ones come from your friends. Might I suggest "the dingle"? Whatcha think: Ron "the dingle" Berry? Sounds kinda catchy doesn't it?

regards,

"Ignored post by Idaho Sharpshooter" is all I see from now on, Rich. AMFYOYO.

Colin,
Funny he didn't send a reamer drawing. He has in the past, and did with some reamers I got from him recently. Miking and guessing from factory ammo gets me close, but I don't think anyone has put the complete and official specs on the net, yet. I wonder if someone has been asked to keep it close to the vest?

I measure .530" for the head and rim, on factory ammo, and we know the max brass spec there is supposed to be .532", so that makes sense. That is the solitary dimension I am sure of.

Thanks for any future info if you get it. I don't like to pester Dave Manson if I don't have to, and his time should not be squandered.

RIP

Dave has sent me his reamer specs & Hornady Max
chamber dimensions, but I cant open them They are in a tif file
I will however seek expert advice, from my computer literate daughter, so stay tuned for the next exciting episode of the 375 Ruger Specs

Colin,
Wonderful. I wouldn't know a tif from a tit either! Hope you can crack the code.

RIP

Go to 375 ..Ruger in Wild Cats. Some interesting Specs. Col

Colin,
Do you mean White Bison's poem to the Newton?
If so it is not precise enough.
We want the official specs, not a creative interpretation of brass and caliper medley.

If you canlt get it to open email it to me -- .tiff files are not too complicated.
