[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 852706, member: 22069"] Excellent shooting and great post! I know many people do not consider the .375 WBY or the .375 H&H to be long range cartridges. Loaded correctly, however, I believe they have potential. I have a CZ in .375 H&H with a Meopta Artemis 1.5-6x42 that has the ranging/holdover reticle (4B?). Its accuracy has far exceeded my expectations from the first time I shot it. CZ makes a great rifle. One advantage of the full size magnum action is the amount of room available in the magazine to seat bullets long. My rifle has shown promise with Hornady 300g BTSP's loaded to 3.750" over Hodgdon book loads of H4350. Top book loads were producing 2720fps at the muzzle. I still need to complete load development to see where my accuracy node is. I also started experimenting with CE 300g MTH's. COAL with them was over 4". With the same Hodgdon book loads, they topped out at over 2760fps at the muzzle. If I can get some accuracy out of them, the .750 bc should turn my humble H&H into a legit ELR rifle. If I can get the 300g CE's to shoot, I will step up to the CE 320's for their .830 bc. At $2 a trigger pull just for the bullets, though, I am looking for less expensive alternatives for practice. I have some 350g SMK's that I intend to try with RL-17. I may do the same with the 320 CE's as well. I am still keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for a Berger Hybrid in .375 that will stabilize in a 12 twist. If my experiments work out, I will probably end up having to go with a second scope that is suited to ELR use. THEN, I will have to find a place to shoot that far. Thank you for sharing your results. I look forward to reading about your moose hunting exploits! [/QUOTE]
