[QUOTE="Eastcoastshooter375, post: 723330, member: 54668"] I've read a lot on this site and have learn a ton of useful info. I was using the search function when I ran across something interesting. Many shooters are using the 300 RUM, or the 338 Edge, and often the 338 RUM, but I don't see many people shooting the 375 RUM for long range. I realize the bullet selection isn't the greatest and recoil is greatly increased, but is that the only reason? I currently have both a 300 RUM and a 375 RUM. The 300 shoots 185 VLD's at 3175 sub MOA to 550. My current load for the 375 is a 260gr NAB at ~2970. Several deer and bear (and yes, a groundhog) have fallen to the 260 NAB. I gained some speed with a 235gr speer at 3200fps for short range deer. Sporting a 4-12 leupold limits range, but I've found it possible to thump "cow pies" at 400-500 yards. I wanted your input on a good "all round" mid-long range bullet/load for deer and bear. I'm open to all suggestions, just thought I'd see what the rest of you all shoot. Should I stick to the 260 NAB's at almost 3000fps? Max range ~600 yards.... until I move to Co/Wy in a few years when the ole lady finishes Vet School ;-) Thanks in advance! Tom [/QUOTE]
