375 Cheytac bullet tension

[actionexpress]

I am going to be reloading a magazine fed 375 Cheytac and was wanting to know how much bullet tension should I be looking for.

How heavy is the rifle and what bullet and velocity are you shooting it at?

Thats alot of recoil for a mag feed rifle, 20lbs more recoil energy than my 375, Id go .004 NT minimum. Problem with big boys like 375 and up is they recoil so hard that the rounds in the mag slap the front of the magazine and either push the bullets into the case more or they deformed the meplat of the bullet.
