    308 subsonic

    My 308's love trailboss and titegroup with 168 grain eld m. Around 8 grains of titegroup or 10 grains of trailboss. Also 170g cast bullets with 8 grains of IMR green. All are around 1050 fps. Use for target and small game inside 100 yrds. Haven't tried them at longer distance.

    375 Ruger with Speer 270 grain BTSP Bullets

    I find Hodgdon's starting load for a 300 grain Sierra Gameking bullet using Staball 6.5 very accurate. 53 Ft Lbs recoil in a 7 pound rifle. They have load data for a 270 grain Hornady. I would try the Staball 6.5 or the IMR 4350. My favorite for a jacketed bullet is 250 grain Sierra Gameking...

    35 Whelen VS 375 Ruger

    i have a 375 ruger that is light weight. It does hurt to shoot full power 300 grain bullet loads. I even put a small sand bag against my shoulder on the bench then. However hand loading makes it a much more useful gun. grouse/bunny/gallery- round ball and 5 grains bullseye off hand practice...

    Defining “Big Game”

    Jackrabbit grilled with BBQ sauce is tasty if a bit chewy. Young bear was liked by even my curious vegetarian friends when made as swiss steak. Pig is excellent.
