I have a extra left hand 338 Remington Ultra Mag and would like to convert to a 375 Remington Ultra Mag. Does anyone have a barrel to sell? Can some provide specs on there factory 375 Remington Ultra Mag barrel--length , twist, deminsons, etc. Thanks. Tom | ||

Nope, a .375 barrel never lies fallow in my hands, not even a take-off. They all get used. Use the standard .375 H&H twist, 1:12". Rifling specs will be the same for the .375 RUM as for the .375 H&H. The Remington factory 700 LSS that I measured is .650" muzzle diameter at 26" length. That stainless barrel has a nicely recessed crown from the factory. That weight is heavy enough to be easily accurate without fuss. Gives 2803 fps with factory loaded Remington ammo using 300-grain Swift A-Frames. Hard to improve on that. Go with a no.4 sporter contour similar to Douglas contours. That will be close to the factory barrel. DRG says: "Kiss my liberal grits!" ![]() | |||

RiP, Thanks for the feedback. I miked my three ultra mags see below 7 .645 300 .668 338 .650 I though they would mike the same--either Remington quality control is weak or they differ by caliber. Tom | |||

They're all over the place...I have a factory 338 RUM barrel that is .660 at 26 inches and .655 at 24"... ![]() You can tell PacNor or Lilja to dupe the Remington factory magnum sporter profile and get what you want. To me it is the perfect 375 profile. I have 'em in H&H and Weatherby flavors. BTW...Lilja has a PDF on their websight that shows a bunch of factory contour measurements.
