SaeedI Wish…
I get any people come to shoot in our range.
For them, I keep an assortment of different calibers loaded.
Most of these loads put together from left over I load for specific rifles.
Last year, I had a few 375 caliber Walterhog 300 grain bullets left after I loaded my safari ammo.
I loaded these in 375 H&H cases.
I don’t remember what powder, or load, as these are just for plinking here.
Today I got a BRNO rifle in 375 H&H, put a scope on it, and used these few rounds - there were 23 rounds altogether.
After sighting in the scope, shot a t shot group.
All in one ragged hole!!??
The friends here were laughing!

Peter ConnanWe have a local powder manufacturer here. Lots of people complain about their products, but I have always had acceptable results with them. But in the last few years they have been struggling. A couple of years ago they had a fire which damaged part of the plant, and as a result they stopped production of rifle powders for a time.
The one I used for my 7mm became completely un-available. A while ago somebody wanted to try out the rifle, and I loaded 20 rounds with the last of my supply, and some Sierra Gamekings I had got from a friend but never tried before.
Shot the three smallest groups that rifle has ever produced with that stuff.

AtkinsonHard to beat Sierra bullets for accuracy, and they are not bad at all as a hunting bullet if loaded properly as to velocity, to the caliber. I expect sub-MOA groups with them for most of my guns that I use them in...
