[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 848622, member: 22069"] Another very interesting post about what is possible with equipment that most folks don't think of as long range! I have been doing some work along the same lines to see what is possible with my 375 H&H. My initial results exceeded my expectations. I still need to finish load development and get some shooting done @ 600 yards to validate my numbers. I don't have access to a longer range than that, so 600 it is. I fooled around some with 250g TTSX's, but had such good results with 300g bullets that I have decided to go that direction. I started out with a Meopta 1.5-6x42. It's a great scope for field use and offhand shooting, but the eye relief is a bit short for bench work. It looks to me like Hornady 300g BTSP's @ 2700ish will work very well with a RZ 1000 reticle and carry enough freight to take a deer at 1000 yards. I just happen to have a scope with that reticle and plan to test the combination. If I can get them to shoot, CE 300's or 320's will take me out to around 1500. Then I will have to find some place where I can shoot that far! Thanks again for some excellent information. I really like the .375's and feel there is a lot of untapped potential to be had there. I find it encouraging to see the results of your work! gun) [/QUOTE]
