I knew a guy with one of these, I think only use 340gr-350gr slug in Factory loads, be cool to reload with modern 400gr bullets ?
Indeed!
Not sure what twist FN gave their 10.75s but Mauser used the same for 10.75 and 404 Jeffery.
I find it interesting, maybe human nature, that we so often take a medium bore and instantly discuss loading heavier bullets to bring it into the realm of DG use and conversely look to lighter, flatter shooting projectiles to use in the bigger calibers to make them more versatile.
In this respect, the 10.75X68 with modern loading and either lighter or heavier bullets really could be a great all-round big game rifle!
