What jacketed bullet diameter is being used in this rifle.
I have only shot cast lead bullets of .380 diameter and can not find any jacket bullets larger than .375 diameter.

Hi Steve and welcome to the forum.

I have a Target myself, and I have been able to get the speer bullet to stabilize by using a very firm crimp.  I don't have the number for it hereat work it's the one for the 375 winchester.

I shoot lasercast 240 grain cast bullets now.  They can be pushed to jacketed velocities without significant leading, according to the product info.  I've shot them at 1800 fps without a leading problem.

Good luck.

Barnes makes a .377, check with www.midwayusa.com or www.grafs.com Problem will be that it will still likely be undersize, and they are about twice the price of Hornady's or Sierras 375 bullets.
