New .375 Accuracy Test

Here's a picture of a test target with my new custom left-hand .375 H&H rifle:

This is a test to upload pictures.

Well this certainly look promising.

There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t.

Looks like, with some proper load development, that rifle just may make a keeper.

Might make a nice .375 Wby with just a rechamber.

That's pretty good for 25yards! Move back to 100 yards and let's see what she does.

Tell us more about the rifle, pictures?

My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

It shoots low and slightly left. Sell it!!!

Nice shooting though

That's a good start Bill, although I'm sure you're aware that a 250 gn. Sierra bullet won't reliably kill anything larger than a coyote.

Looks like it has been shot from mechanical rest using custom loaded ammo. He is not likely to get group like that shooting factory fodder from his shoulder.

Is that your pattern for three 5 shot groups!
Looks like you had plenty of time practicing.
Woops, missed the note saying it was one 3 shot group.

Hey! He is just getting started with load development!
Don't be too hard on him.
He can improve on that.

Here is my best 100 yard 3-shot group using Walterhog copy bullets, 300-grainers made by Bridger, in a .375 Wby,
and it was merely a rechamber of a Connecticut M70 Classic Stainless Winchester in the Tupperware stock!!!
No machine rest.
