What are some good muzzle diameters for the .375 bore? Thanks | ||

It depends on the rifle. How heavy do you want the thing to end up being? You can have from .625 to .750 and be in the ballpark for a hunting rifle. I like them on the heavy side. | |||

My Winchester is .725" and that makes it very soft shooting. That's probably as heavy as I'd go.

I have a Sako FN in 375 H&H that is .575" at the muzzle. It is nice and light, yet still easy to shoot. I have had it to Africa several times and it has a bunch of animals. this is the one rifle that I could never sell. Just too many memories. When I had a 375 H&H built to my specs I went whit a diameter of .640". I feel that this is too heavy for a 375 with most standard barrel contours but it is about right with the contour that I used(Mauser sporter, stepped profile). Just keep in mind that a 375 does not need to be heavy to be shootable. Jason "You're not hard-core, unless you live hard-core." _______________________ Hunting in Africa is an adventure.

The same can be said for everything down to the 22 rimfire. Jason "You're not hard-core, unless you live hard-core." _______________________ Hunting in Africa is an adventure.
