[QUOTE="el matador, post: 1838336, member: 12193"] I load for my buddy's 375 Cheytac. It weighs 24 lbs and has a muzzle brake the size of a Red Bull can. The 375 caliber is not very popular for hunting at long range because you really need a heavy gun to manage the recoil of high-BC bullets. 338s are more common since a 300 grain bullet has a really good BC and can reasonably be fired at high velocity from a 10-15 lb gun. Most 375s used for hunting are for dangerous game or for big game at short to medium range. Without a muzzle brake I'd be looking at 250-270 grain bullets and limit my range to whatever my ballistic chart says. The Barnes 250 grain TTSX, 260 grain Accubond, or the 248 grain Hammer Hunter would all work pretty well out to 600+ yards. It depends on how fast you push them, what velocity you want at impact, and how well you can put a shot on target. [/QUOTE]
