    Specific questions about 375 Cheytac, easy answers

    Re: Specific questions about 375 Cheytac, easy answers djd, Since you have done extensive testing on the subject, what would you estimate SS barrel life to be with cartridges in the .375CT class since gugubica was asking. Irrespective of cost, would you say that nitriding had a positive...

    Specific questions about 375 Cheytac, easy answers

    Re: Specific questions about 375 Cheytac, easy answers Noel, I appreciate the heads up. I am led to believe that the it was a process of titanium deposition in the bore specifically for the purpose of resisting erosion in the throat, leading to extended bore life. I will look into the...

    Specific questions about 375 Cheytac, easy answers

    Re: Specific questions about 375 Cheytac, easy answers My pleasure. It is a daunting task to sift through all the info. Noel Carlson is working on some very high BC projectiles and is way beyond my level of understanding but I think it is clear that his stuff is still coming together and I...

    Specific questions about 375 Cheytac, easy answers

    Re: Specific questions about 375 Cheytac, easy answers gugubica You are going through the same process I have gone through. Some things I know for sure some things I am not sure anyone knows for sure. I settled on Lawton as well and have no regrets. They have the experience and I doubt...

    375 CHEY TAC twist rate

    Re: 375 CHEY TAC twist rate Noel, I understood that the CP would always be forward of the CG in this equation but studying your bullets made this occur to me a while back and I figured this was a good opportunity to ask the question. It is pure theory but I just wondered if shifting the CG...

    375 CHEY TAC twist rate

    Re: 375 CHEY TAC twist rate Noel, I understand the COG vs COP, this seems logical. Knowing that this is a function of the profile of the bullet dictating the greatest mass to be at the rear, has anyone considered a way to eliminate/minimize this? This had previously occurred to me and it...

    375 CHEY TAC twist rate

    Re: 375 CHEY TAC twist rate Do you think a 1:10 would work for the GSC 355 gr sp? I do not see a 355 gr listed on the GS website but would be interested in experimenting with them if a 1:10 rate was appropriate.

    375 CHEY TAC twist rate

    Re: 375 CHEY TAC twist rate Should I be reconsidering the 1:10 twist barrel I was going to use on the 350 Gr SMK bullets? I have been considering getting a second barrel down the road for solids but hoped to be able to get good performance out of the 350 SMK's out to 2000 yds. What would be...

    Best selection and smith to build a 375 Cheytac

    Re: Best selection and smith to build a 375 Cheytac My two cents, Lawton is my personal choice. They are certainly not the only ones doing it but Bobby has proven to be a wealth of information and is very generaous with his time. Noel has been equally helpful on the projectile end of the...

    New Rifle Break In

    Re: New Rifle Break In I would only add one thing. There are endless theories on break in from noting to some very specific firing/cleaning sequences involving as much as 100 rounds but one thing I have found to be indisputable is that if you don't use a high quality bore guide anytime you...

    Lawton rifles thread!

    Re: Lawton Rifle Thread What kind of barrel taper is this and what does the rifle weigh? Bobby is building me a barreled action right now and that McCree's stock looks like what I have in mind. Mine will be a 32" SS barrel 1.350 at the breach and 1" at the muzzle, fluted with a Lawton brake...
