Looks like a great load. You are good for anything in North America.

You must be planning on hunting rock chucks! Well, the accuracy is there. You're set for anything in NA and far beyond.

I’ve had this #1 for quite a few years, spent about 5 minutes on load developement as I recall. I’ll probably fire 3 shots with 300 gr Accubonds in the next week or so. That’ll be it for the year. Six shots from the bench some 40 to 60 rounds on steel over the year.
Point of aim is the bottom of the big diamond.

Very nice. You are, indeed, ready to go.

Very nice Don! Man that’s such a proven good load, I almost think it’s the same one Guy uses as well correct?

believe it is Guy’s load and also developed in a #1

Can’t argue with those results , that big bore is ready for a hunt.

Most likely a chipmunk. I was once in my blind only had a 30/06 chipmunk started climbing my tree I had to jump 20 feet to save my life if I had a .375 HH I might of had a chance.

Great you're set for a 200 yard zero.

Nice work overall!

 

[salmonchaser]

I have all my hunting rifles set to a 200 yard zero. that gets everything basically 6-8 inches low at 300 yards. While I have everything set up except the 375 with dialing system now I never use it unless I’m taking a shot out around 400.

The 375 H&H Mag is not thought of as a long range cartridge.
My Nosler M21 375 has a Leupold VX-5HD 2-10x42mm and I've shot it at 400 and 600 yards.
I got a first shot hit on the 600 yard gong, nearly hitting dead center@3:00. That really made me smile. (The hit at 10:30 is from my 338 RUM).

The Big 375 is basically a grown up older man version of the 30-06 when is comes to trajectory.

I agree Fotis. I’ve always thought if I would take the shot with an 06 and 180s I could take the same shot with the 375 and 260s.
