[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 892121, member: 2011"] My experience w/the 375 H&H was with Winchester factory bullets in a Ruger #1. It was a darn good shooter. Just not long range and was not meant to be. I shoot the 350 SMKs ahead of a 142 or so grains of Retumbo. It's in a whole different league than the H&H. And definitely long range. I figure that if you hit the large game animal where you wish with that big bullet, success rate should be darn high. The SMK is a good bullet but not a great bullet.Finding a great bullet in 375 is gonna be tough. I'm thinking the CEB 375 would be a step up. The boss man at CEB tells me that most are having great success with the 350 & 352 grain offerings. Those guys are shooting the 375 CT about 200 FPS slower than I do. I'm gonna try the 352 CE offerings first. The anticipated problem, if any, with be the relationship between bullet diameter and bore diameter which is critical for any machined bullet. Berger 375 cal offerings are right behind the 277 170 gr offering which is on the slow boat. That is, years away. . . I'm certain. [/QUOTE]
