Its a myth that these calibers have rock trajectories. For example a 260 grain AB (BC 0.473) from 375 Ruger is actually 2" higher at 300 yards than 225 grain AB (0.55) from a 338 Win Mag despite it's BC disadvantage.


Huh?



Yup,
no more 'shrooms for that guy !



Been shooting 250 Sierras (and BBC's) from 375 H&H's at 2900 fps+ for 30+ years. To 400 yards it stays ahead of any 250 gr load for the 338 Win Mag and shots about as flat as a 338 with 210's. Seen this from actual shooting, not reading tables....one reason my 338's went down the road.

Think Swampland is right about bullets,cases and barrels for the 375 bore and playing at real long range.Heavier bullets, bigger cases,and faster twists required.

I have a 10 twist Krieger about to be installed, but it will stay a 375 H&H because real long barrels and heavy weight rifles are over my head. Range limitations of 500-600 yards with a 375 are good enough for me. smile




The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
