but went with the 375 Stalker instead. The 375 flopped and the 8.6 prospered.

The 375 Stalker is the same 308 case cut to 1.560" and necked to .375". I built mine on the AR15 platform as it uses a 7.62 x 39 bolt and standard AR15 magazines loaded single stack. I run 270 grain cast powder coated bullets @ 1060 fps with a suppressor. I can run 220 grain Hornady's up to 2200 fps.

I built mine in 2021 and haven't really done much with it. I need to get it back out :-)

I figure Kase has researched the topic maybe GNR - WB, 2024-04-19, 09:45

        A fast twist uses up a lot of energy. - Jim Taylor, 2024-04-19, 12:19
        Lots of interesting testing being done. - WB, 2024-04-19, 13:05

        Is your TC barrel that crazy fast twist? (nm) - WB, 2024-04-19, 14:41
