Nice! I'm still waiting on my improved version to be finished. What bullets do you plan on shooting? I'll be starting off with the Sierras.

Re: New Lawton 375 Cheytac Arrived

Very nice!! I just sent mine off to get the stock coated, and waiting for a set of dies from lawton. Then the real fun begins, trying to find out what she likes to be hand fed. Let us know what works best for you.

I Plan on shooting the Rocky mountains with the aluminum tips. I got 100 rounds to try with 100 rounds of new brass.

oooooOOOOOOHHHHHHHH!!!! Daddy like!!!

That's exactly what I'm going to build. LOL, it appears I wasn't the first one who thought of using the 8500 as a single shot .375CT Baahaahaahaa!

The idea just popped into my head when I came across the 8500 group buy. Been talking to NAG a little about it, dude has been so cool about everything, wouldn't even try it without his help.

It weighs close to 20 pounds with the scope on it. Optics came in today the Fed ex man brought me a US Optics so it probably added 5 lbs.LOL

According to GURU with the 365 grain Rocky Mountains with the Aluminum tip and about 135 grains of retumbo it should be around 3150FPS...Guys that is smoking?????

Re: New Lawton 375 Cheytac Arrived

Steve he went with a standard LR bore like yours. The 370 grain rockys i have been playing with seem to want to shoot at around 3100. 3150 i have noticed with my barrel to start to get pressure signs. But every barrel is different.

Re: New Lawton 375 Cheytac Arrived

On those LR bores whats the difference between them and a barrel for jacketed bullets?

There is not much difference at all. They will both shoot the other bullet but the lr bore shoots the solids better and gets better mv's.

Re: New Lawton 375 Cheytac Arrived

Guru,

How much are the 370 Rocky's going for a bullet?

Re: New Lawton 375 Cheytac Arrived

2.25$ a piece per hundred or 2.00$ if you order 200 or more.
