[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 957384, member: 22069"] A .375 H&H on a full magnum length action, such as a CZ 550, will allow you to load to OAL's of 4"+. I am getting 2600+ fps with 350g SMK's and RL-22 from a 25" barrel. Though I haven't tried it yet, I would expect similar performance from IMR 7828 SSC. A Ruger #1 might also allow something similar to be done. It doesn't appear to me that much experimentation has been done with the H&H for long range work. I have been tinkering with mine off and on for the past 18 months or so and am finding out that most existing information leaves a lot to be desired. The latest version of Quickload and a Magnetospeed chronograph have been very useful to me in developing my own data for 300g and 350g bullets. There are a lot of misconceptions and outright untruths out there when it comes to the .375's and their capabilities. ETA: If you are working with an action that limits you to 3.6" ish OAL's, RL-17 is the ticket with 300g bullets. [/QUOTE]
