Bought my first .375 H&H

So I bought a 375 H&H in a CZ 550 American Safari. And to some it up, I'm impressed with the rifle in general. Very good qulity compared to most. Havne't shot it yet but planning on soon. Still picking out a scope and rings yet I'm settled on QR Talley's.

I think i'm going to load 270gr. TSX in it. But we'll see.

I really can't believe how well this gun fits though. It's about as perfect as it can get. Really impressed.

-The 30-06 is like a perfect steak next to a campfire, a .300 Win Mag is the same but with mushrooms and a baked potato-

If you shoot the 270gr TSX try 74.0gr RL-15. Delivers right at 2,700 fps and has been very accurate in every rifle we have shot it in.

Magnum,

and a 300H&H is like Erin Andrews showing up to serve that dinner and suggesting the two of you go skinny dipping afterwards!!

Congratulations! A 375 is more fun than a new puppy.

Love my cz 375, at first I toyed with it and bedding, couldn't get it to shoot like I wanted. Had Brockman install one of his laminated stocks. Sent for some North Forks, as per Mike's recommendations, loaded 71 gr RX15 behind all 3 of his bullets.
This rifle will put 3 each softs, flat point solids and cup point solids into a hole @ 100 yards that you can cover with a dime.
Shot a buff last year with the soft as he was walking towards me, the bullet penetrated to the back of the stomach! It was picture perfect when recovered.
Hope you are as happy with yours as I am with mine. After several hundred rounds being fired, the action is very smooth.

My .375 Win M70 shot cheap Federal 270 grain Classic factory loads to 1" with a 1.5-5 Leupold on it. I then switched to a 2.5-8 Leupold and started loading Barnes TSX 300 grain bullets with 71 grains of Reloader 15 and this load shoots under 1" and has shot several groups at .5" which really impresses me.
Spend decent money on a scope and you will love that rifle, .375's are fun and most I know of are accurate.
