I would guess a 300PRC which is a 375 Ruger necked down. Something I would like to do for 1000yd BR.

I like the 300 skadi which is the 300 Norma with the same treatment but moves back to the "short and fat is where it's at" design. I haven't seen any around in the flesh but again it may be because of the lap boltface requirement.
