When I was prepping for my first hunt in Namibia, among other things, I worked up a very accurate load with 260-grain AccuBonds for my Weatherby Mk V in .375 H&H. I used that rifle and load to take two fairly large bull elk in Colorado. They were somewhere around 140 and 160 yards.
I sight my rifles in at "maximum point-blank range" and run a "cheat sheet" with drop tables that I tape to the butt stock. Among other things, I shot an impala in Namibia at 300 meters (about 330 yards) with the same rifle and load, holding the horizontal cross-hair resting on the top of it's back. The bullet entered his body about 1/3 of the way up from the bottom of his chest. The scope was a Leupold VX-III 1.75-6 X 32.
Hope this helps...
