I’m seeing a lot of options around for ELR in 375 cal. I’m also seeing a lot of trash talk about whose case
came from where, and how individuals think they or their guy has the best design. What I’m not finding
online is solid data; how many fps increase after # of shots, barrel fouling and cleaning regime, barrel life
etc etc. Must be magazine friendly, not single load.
My only experience previously is with 375 Chey and sierras, issued equipment so no opportunity to do a
long series of detailed records of fps vs round count using a chrono, just dope records.
Hypothetical question: if you were setting up a training facility using 375 cal rifles, to be used regularly by
groups of shooters every weekend, which 375 case and bullet combo would be most economical?
All consumable costs including brass and barrel life? Ammunition would be hand loads, AMP annealed,
loaded by an employee with more than adequate experience.
Would prefer a solid over a jacketed projectile, otherwise we would not see enough of a significant
ballistic advantage over our existing 338Imp/ 300 Berger option. 375 EnABELR with Bergers or CE looks
like the best option so far.
