[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 1231426, member: 22069"] I have read similar reports to yours, regarding the terminal performance of the 300 SGK. My understanding is that Sierra has gone with a thicker jacket to alleviate the problem. I can't back that up with any kind of actual experience, though. If a person is looking to step up from the H&H, the Weatherby seems like an easy upgrade. I am using compressed loads of RL-22 to get pretty decent velocity (relative to the case capacity of the H&H) from the 350's. If the Weatherby were to offer enough capacity to allow the use of RL-26, it could provide a pretty good jump in performance. You make an excellent point about the overall performance of a standard weight rifle vs a more specialized rig for LRH. There is no question that I am making a lot of compromises by going the standard weight rifle route and that has added some layers of difficulty to what I am doing. I am pretty happy with where the rifle and loads are. Now I just need to work on tuning the shooter! I enjoyed reading your comments. Thank you for sharing your experience with the .375's! [/QUOTE]
