A 225gr Core Lokt from my .338 WINCHESTER MAGNUM works great on elk too.375 h&h works great for whitetail. I am not sure load matters much but the 270 grain core lock works great in my experience

The .375 Taylor is a necked up .338WM as you already know. But the .300 and .458WM use the same cartridge case as the .338WM so it would be possible to create the Taylor through incremental steps with different die sets. Better to get a .338WM and have the barrel rebored and chambered to .375 Taylor. I’ve thought about doing the same but then found a .375 Ruger Guide Gun. The cost anymore for a new barrel with sights and/or rebarrel and the accompanying gunsmithing costs for a .375 Taylor are an exercise in diminishing returns for me.Nope a .300wm and .458wm but no 375, I’d build a .375 chatfield Taylor if the caliber more manufacturer support.
It’s the AH way. Never say never. LOLThis thread got dragged up from 5 years back Bob I don’t even own the rifle it was made about anymore.
If I did decide to build one I’d just buy another tikka t3x and have it rebarreled, I did the same with my .458wm bought a second .300wm tikka and had it barreled over. Only reason I would consider a Taylor is that it fits the action with no modifications.The .375 Taylor is a necked up .338WM as you already know.

Good idea and the Tikkas are nice rifles.If I did decide to build one I’d just buy another tikka t3x and have it rebarreled, I did the same with my .458wm bought a second .300wm tikka and had it barreled over. Only reason I would consider a Taylor is that it fits the action with no modifications.
Same in Alabama, the law states “center fire mushrooming ammunition only” for deer. However buckshot is legal.For a Steenbok or a Reedbok solids are recommended.
Trivia - in Canada there is no game that is allowed by law to be hunted using solids.
Same in Colorado for big game. And .24 caliber and up.Same in Alabama, the law states “center fire mushrooming ammunition only” for deer. However buckshot is legal.
I’ve used my .375 Ruger on quite a few whitetail, works well.
Okay. I would think about shooting something else! What a mess.I used my .375 Ruger this year on the doe I took. 250gr. Barnes TTSX over RL15 (72.4 grains) - 20" barrel - 2640 FPS/3868 Ft-Lbs/57,000 pressure

I shoot 300gr DGX out of my .375 Ruger for everything except my one and only elephant and a community reedbuck both solids and I’ve never had that kind of damage on anything with it. I have had that kind of damage using 7mm Rem Mag and .270 Win. on whitetail and a pronghorn.Okay. I would think about shooting something else! What a mess.
All depends on bullet placement wasn’t one piece of meat wasted on this feller, taxidermist wasn’t as impressed when he euro mounted though.Okay. I would think about shooting something else! What a mess.
