[QUOTE="Konrad, post: 836062, member: 26549"] NOW you’re talking! A tingle just went up my leg… When I was a young man and had an even more restricted budget than now, I researched center fire hunting calibers and settled on the 375 H&H Magnum. The reasoning was adaptability and flexibility for different applications (the mythical one rifle arsenal). Yes, I played around with all kinds of loads (including FFFg black powder and round balls) but found that the Sierra 300 grain Game King over 77.7 grains of IMR4350 just plain WORKED. Since that time, the 375s have been multiplying in my safe. I have yet to find one that would not shoot clover leafs at 200 plus yards anf I do not own any custom rifles. The problem is the 325 yard effective range without applying tremendous elevation corrections. If ya could get a 325 grain low drag solid to launch at around 2900 fps, you would truly have a devastating combination. A mounted weapon (no or limited operator recoil) launching the same projectile at 3250 fps could well be an effective anti-aircraft or anti armored vehicle firearm in a lighter weight package. One can always dream. [/QUOTE]
