Only been once, but a model 70 300 H&H, 180gr TTSX, Leupold vx3 2.5-8 worked perfectly. Have a matching 375 H&H that will be going next year for buffalo and whatever PG we run into.

I shot close to 600 rounds through various rifles off of sticks and bog pods to get ready. Close to 300 of those rounds through the 300 H&H. I also did a lot of dry firing exercises.

For next year, plan on shooting mostly the 375 and a 9.3x64 Brenneke that are making the trip. Same routine, mostly off of sticks, but will probably mess around with some extended ranges ( out to 800) just for fun.

Have plenty of Hornady spire points for practice, will use moderate loads. With plans to switch to full power TSX loads closer to the hunt.
