Just found that (older) Information by Chance.

Is there any more Information about it available?
To me it
looks like a 338Lapua Case necked up to hold .375Cal. Bullets.
Like a 9,5x70mm..

Hi,

don´t think it´s an "improved" Design.
If i see the Diameter at the Shoulder/Body Junktion in the Reamer-Drawing it´s a plain 338 Lapua Case necked up to accept .375Dim. Bullets.
If you have an improved Case it Looks like the 338 in the Picture.

And 350grs. Bullets like the SMK are too havy for this Round. Best i could find is the 330grs. from Lehigh Bullets, or the 290+325 AERO ones from Austria.

What this world needs is a high BC .358 bullet...or several to choose from. Lilja makes barrels for it. A 358/338 Lapua Improved or 358 CheyTac would be awesome.

May have a look atQuick Load.
Use Minimum of 28" Barrel and if you can find it a short Twist one. 1 x10" is fine. There are plenty of Premium Bullets available. Lehigh, Cutting Edge, Rocky Mountain ....Powders like NORMA MRP,SwissReload-70,VV N-560 are good. Federal 215M is first if you don´t get PPU made ones having XLRM-Primer Pockets.

Sounds like a belt-less 378 Weatherby.
With the rise of the 338L, brass should be much easier to come by, and of better quality, than the Weatherby. And once fired's out there, too.
