Quote:Hello 93x64mm,
Nice rifle there Buckstix, certainly one for your collection!
Was the Buhmiller cartridge based off a shortened & blown out .375H&H case?
The range report will be interesting on this one to see how it goes in comparison to the .458 Win & the Lott.
Thanks for the reply.
Yes, a shortened 375 H&H .... case length is 3.650" ... its like a slightly shorter 450 Ackley Mag but a tad larger dia (0.005") at the shoulder.
I fired it yesterday to get some fire-formed brass .. I loaded 300g bullets at 2170 fps .. only minor recoil due to the wonderful muzzle brake.
