New 375 Sierra game king

[benchracer]

I checked Sierra's website and I see a 350g Matchking, but no 350g Gameking. Are you referring to the Matchking?

I know Berger is planning to introduce a new .375 bullet, but I don't know anything about the planned weight or bc.

I ordered some 300g Cutting Edge bullets for my .375. They have a similar bc to the Sierra Matchkings. I believe I should be able to push them to around 2700 or so from my H&H. The down side is that they will be expensive to shoot. They will definitely not be plinking bullets!

I have been thinking about the long range potential of my H&H and plan to experiment a bit to see what it can do. If the CE bullets work out, I hope to use Bergers or Sierras as a less expensive alternative for practice bullets.

Of course, if the CE bullets work out, I will also have to switch to long range glass for my .375. Right now, it is set up as a short to medium range smasher.

Darn it. My mistake, it is matchking.

67g of RL-17 out of a 29" barrel, yielding 2429 fps at 53,956 psi (so still some margin to work up hotter).

That is the current bullet of choice for .375 Cheytac users!
Do the math at 3100fps.

I have seen bulls knocked down with the 375 H&H,@500 yrds no problem,they usually had a300 zero

I'm running the standard APS 375 AM load with the 375 SMK @ 3250 ahead of 142.5 grains of Retumbo out of a 30" Pac Nor bbl.

However I would think a 375 H&H or RUM would be plenty sufficient for LRH.

That would make the 378 Wea. an interesting rifle, the 350MK for target/long range hunting and the 350TSX for close in mean stuff, along with a good muzzle brake I would think>
