Tanner, I've been a devout .375 fan for many years; going back to the time when Elmer Keith revived interest in it and Ruger came out with the #1 in that caliber.
My beat-up old pet .375 is an Interarms Whitworth fitted with a just-as-old Zeiss 1.5-6 x 42 scope.
My favorite load is the Sierra Game King 300-grain boattail and 75 grains of IMR 4350 for just under 2,500 fps, which is Elmer's old load and still shoots into cloverleafs at 100 yards.
Years ago I had the privilege of reviewing Keith's original correspondence with Sierra when they partnered with him in developing that particular bullet.
I've killed everything with it from antelope to elk, and I loaned it out to friend for moose. It's always done just what the old man said it would do, and you can "eat right down to the hole."
Thanks for starting this thread,
Dick
Dick, I'm glad you brought up the 300 gr. sierra gameking. Weird thing is, I was wondering how that particular bullet would work for big critters and I guess you answered that question for me...Around here, we use the 250 gr. sierra gameking in our 338 win mags on elk with excellent results. I wouldn't even consider running a different bullet for my 338. Lord knows I've tried many different flavors but went back to the gameking since it works so well....
I used 300gr Sierra out of a 375 rum killed couple moose with them never recovered a bullet.
