Personally I think you'll be lucky to get a bullet out the muzzle of a twenty six foot long barrel. Man what a sight radius for iron sight shooting but wow that rascal must be HEAVY.

On a more serious note Hornady load manuals have data for the .375 JDJ which is one version of the .375/444 so it would be a good starting point to work up your data.

I've owned 4 SSK 375JDJ's (all 14"/15") over the last 25+ years...   the pistol loads would shoot just fine in a longer barrel as a starting place to do your load development from.

One species has evolved into obese cranial fatheads with thin skin in comparison that whines about anything and everything as their shield against their environment. Meus
