Daryl,

If you do a .375/.444 do it on a strong action. You can really put some ass behind that round. I don't think a 94 Win. would do it justice.

My chamber came from a reamer a friend had made by Clymer. Simply stated, it is a 9.3x62 body with the neck and throat opened up to .375. He had a full-blown version made on a Mauser, for use with 9.3x62 brass necked up slightly. I had a custom High-Wall project in the works at the time, and I thought something similar would do well on it. I needed rimmed brass, so I had my 'smith punch the reamer in only as far as the .444 brass, which is 57mm. That resulted in my cartridge, and it was quite a ripper on the High-Wall.

Later we did the same chamber on my Ruger No. 3. As you know, that rifle has rimless extraction, so the rim is non-essential. In fact, I have formed rimless brass, and it shoots just as well in my Ruger as the .444 based brass. But man, what a cartridge! I load 250 grain bullets. That seems just perfect. The 235 Speers do well also.

I still have a G33/40 action that was slated for a custom job many years ago. The rimless version of this cartridge would fit that action like a glove. In rimless configuration it's basically the same as the 9.5x57. I may do that one day. My 'smith got old and quit, though. Bummer!

But as you say, BLC-2 is wonderful ball powder. I've tried a lot of ball powders, and that's the only one I ever adopted for my own uses.

Regards,
Curl

P.S. Here's a little peek at my concoction:
