I got my mod 70 safari express in about 2019. Currently half way through with my 13 th 1 lb can of Varget. At 76 grains per load behind a 400 gr barnes tsx (and a few swift breakaway solids) gives me over 1000 rounds down the barrel. Busy sighting in off the lead slead at 100 m today and this was the final 2 shot group for the day .

1000 + rounds and going well

Well done! I have the .375HH version with likely about the same number of rounds thru it. It has never cast a shadow at the gunsmith's shop and shoots like yours when I do my job.
Thank you - I do make use of a Chronograph and archive between 2380 and 2390 fps. I have recently bumped the load up to 77 grains and now get around 2420 fps. Not a massive difference but still just feels right.

Good afternoon,
I'm trying to get in contact with Mr Butch Searcy. I have the opportunity to buy one of his rifles chambered in 577 nitro Express however the seller does not have any of the paperwork with the information about what ammunition or bullet weight was used to regulate it. I know he is not making firearms anymore but I wanted to reach out after seeing one of your post about him.

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.
