.375 Velopex aka .375/.400 H&H
      #34373 - 06/07/05 05:04 AM

I know it is technically a medium bore, but this seemed to be the best place to ask. Afterall, its direct decendant is a medium bore that produces (small) big bore results. Is there anyone commercially producing brass for this round? I'm sure that commerical ammo is beyond hopes.

In my endevors, I was informed of an old Mauser actioned rifle that was chambered in the Velopex for a good price. As much as I love my M70 in .375 H&H, I do prefer real Mausers to the Winchesters. (Blame it on the bolt shroud in the event that something does go wrong. I feel the Mauser would offer a little more reassurance of gases going away from the eyes.) If I can come up with some brass/ammo for the original belted, I just might have to dip into my double rifle funds and pick this gun up, if what I was told about it all turns out to be true.

500 is a nice round number, either followed by "Nitro Express" or by "cubic inch displacement".
