Given the positive reviews of RJ Renner on this site, I thought I would ask if anyone has any experience or opinions of the 375 Renner Belted cartridge that he offers.

 
So it like the 375RUGER because it fits in a long action, but at the same time...has no real advantage over it. Matter of fact, I know of some people who think that a belted cartridge is not the right choice for DG hunting because the belt has the possibility of impeding feeding of cartridges from the magazine. Yeah, not likely, but some will choose a 450RIGBY over a 458LOTT or 458WM because of the belt.

It would be difficult (for me) to make a rifle purchase in this cartridge without having a good (several hundered) supply of properly headstamped brass and dies for it. Even then, I don't reload so I'd really be up the creek!

On the other hand, it's not a 375RUGER, 375H&H, 375WBY...etc. You will be in uncharted territory and for some, that's the thrill of it. There's something to be said for showing up at the range, seeing all your buddies and knowing you have something they have never seen before.

Rifle purchases (like cars, motorcycles and hunting knives) don't have to be rational or make sense to anyone other than the buyer. If this one happens to tick all the boxes for you...no amount of sensible talk should dissuade you from doing so. YOLO.

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl

Hey Steve, This is Steve Washington we met at KMG last year. I am interested in your Winchester. Would love to speak with you about it. I work third shift and I cannot take a phone with me to work. Let me know a good time to call during one of your mornings. My phone is [redacted]. Live in Florida so I have to account for the time difference.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Good day, Slider.

Do you by any chance have any 500NE brass left that you are willing to part ways with?

Best regards,
Boela Bekker.
