[QUOTE="RayAlaska, post: 2260, member: 695"] I am new here, and I appreciate the way you usually respond to posters. For that reason alone, I have decided to ask some questions in relation to using .375 H&H lightweight bullets from 235 to perhaps 250-grains. Would it be possible to use lightweight bullets to shoot paper targets or even small game at long range? I understand that a .375H&H does its best when bullets around 300 grains in weight are used, but my question above does not pertain to getting the biggest punch possible form a .375H&H rifle within 300 yards, but instead to your experiences with lightweight bullets use to attain flatter trajectories at longer than usual ranges. I don't use the .375H&H cartridge, but this question has come up every now and then at other forums, and the persons asking the questions have been "hammered" by other .375 users. I use a .338WM for moose hunting in Alaska, and so far have been very successful. My shots have been from 100 to 300 yards, but I try to get as close as possible, and don't intend to shoot past 300. But for some reason, I can't just ignore the fact that at least in theory some .375 H&H shooters should be able to shoot the intended game and target indicated above with lightweight bullets that are already available for them on the market.
