375/ 338 LM for ELR

[HPMike800]

I shoot mostly KD target sports so I don't hang here much. I do shoot some PRS when I can and I am looking into some ELR shooting.

I have an opportunity to pick up a custom 338 LM action for 1/2 price. I've been pondering an ELR rifle for a while. Thinking of a 375 based on a 338LM Improved case. Is there anybody out there making dies with an associated reamer drawing? Kind of like what Robert Whitley does with his wildcat offerings on 6mmar.com?

I know D.Tubb used this cartridge with some success at Kof2Miles. The ballistics sounded pretty good.

Thanks
Mike

From what I read here on the hide Tubbs is working with Peterson Brass on a .338 bolt face .375 so really interested to find out more about that. I have an AI-PSR and love shooting .338LM. My longest confirmed hit is 2445 Yards. I don't call it a hit if I can't do it in a max of 3 shots.

I am looking for a reamer to do a rifle. Want it for a elk rifle. Because a light weight 375 Cheytac would work but could be heavier. I have a barrel for both. Also there is a good article on the long range hunting forum. There was a link that used some of Kirbys work with his version . Seems like a fun one to build.

.375 am is kind of what you're talking about. http://www.apsrifles.com/Allen_Xpress_Wildcats.html

A 338LM Improved case neck up to 375?
Or a some other case with a rebated rim?

Mr Allen only deals with a customer if you buy a complete rifle from him.

it was just for reference

Not sure on the case I would think some king of rebated case

Another would be based of the 500 Jefferies . Takes a lot to neck down , but you could use a 338 laupa action. the case is rebated. This would put you close to 375 chey tac speeds. Put you between the two.
