375 DCM Lite

[Kiwi Greg]

I finally had a chance to do more testing & load development today with the 375 DCM Lite.
It weighs 11.44lbs with the scope, 28.5" Bartlein gain twist barrel, McMillan A3 Carbon stock, lightened Barnard P-Chey action with alloy bedding block, Talley rings, Leupold VX3 CDS 4.5-14x40 scope, T4 Terminator muzzle brake.
I formed up some new Bertram 408 brass & have settled on a load that gives me 3350fps with the Cutting Edge 330, the advertised BC is 0.85, more testing at distance should confirm this.
I have 45moa internal elevation available in the scope plus another 3 in the Duplex reticle so this should get me out past 2000 yards.
It has hang of a lot of power for such a light rifle.





I'm very happy with SSRNZs gun smithing & lightening job on the action.





The T4 Brake & Gunworks Canterburys square fluting.



Nice tight group & ES



It still shoots 1/2 moa with the slower load.

I'm looking forward to taking it out & using it in the field.

Here it is doing a brake comparison today between the Terminator T4 & T5.

A lot of thought and engineering went into the final weight and performance level of the 375 DCM Lite, its truly leading edge in long range shooting.

Nice. Looks like the the ultimate ELR packing rifle.

Lol. Wow I cringe at the thought of lighting one off without the brake.
