That's a nice looking set-up!!

Ok, now what caliber is it?!  What load recipe you plan on using?

My guess: .375 JDJ w/a 270 grn Hornady SP

Your right Del, its a 375 JDJ. The load is a 235 gr. speer hot core over 47 grs. of H4895, WLRM primer. I acually backed the load off to 44 grs. just to get used to the gun. :D

I use the 220 gr Hornaday and use the IMR4895.  I load 45 grs for fun and 48 grs. for hunting.  The 48 grains actually chronoed and grouped best during my tests.  I haven't field tested it yet.  Hopefully this week.
