.375 chamber slug

[R J Talley]

I made a chamber slug of my Win BB 94 in .375 Win. it's easy to see from the photo that Win sure didn't have cast bullet shooters in mind when the made this. My guess is they set it up so that 38-55 shooters wouldn't kill themselves or ruin the gun when they foolishly used 38-55 ammo in the .375.  38-55 ammo often has a bore of .380-.382 or more which would explain the .380 throat and the long free bore. Couple that with a .377 bore and standard cast bullets are going to enter that rifeling catty-whompas for sure. Veral, I'm going to be sending the slug, casing etc. to you to have a custom mould cut. I'm thinking of a four hole mould with three 260 GC bullets and one plain base. Is that mix doable?

The twist on this gun is exactly 1-11 3/4" or roughly 1-12. That should favor heavier bullets in the 250 and above range yes?

  Thank you for the lovely photo.  You have a 'normal' individual barrel, as I described in a previous posting.

  I believe I've already made your mold, and you'll love results with it, because it is as individual as your gun, specificlaly for it.

  You'll probably find lapping of the barrel mandatory to obtain ultimate accuracy, especially at full power.
