I haven't hunted outside of US yet, but have a 375 Ruger Guide Gun with the 20" barrel. I have worked up two loads for this rifle and happy with the results. Work done to rifle was bolt rails, trigger sear honed and trigger adjusted to 2 pounds. Barrel free floated and action glass bedded. Using a Leupold VX3 2.5-8x36mm duplex scope and Alaskan Arms quick detach rings.
Load 1. 78.5grs. RL17 with a Nosler 300gr. Accubond chronographed at 2590fps. 1/2" 3-shot group at 100yds. This is my elk load.
Load 2. 73.0grs. RL17 with a Woodleigh 350gr. PP bullet chronographed at 2391fps. just under 1" 3-shot group at 100yds.
As of right now I have the 300gr. Accubond sighted in with a 200yds zero.
Thinking about getting a Luepold VX3i 1.5-5x20mm with heavy duplex and another set of Alskan Arms quick detach rings for the 350gr. PP Woodleigh load and sight it in for 100yds. zero.
That way I will be set when I can go to Africa and Alaska hunting.
