    Just doing some load development this morning... pretty stoked with this load, its nowhere near max but 2500fps with the 270gr speer and I think I've got the hang of shooting it now that'll do me!

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!

    That is assuming the camera was vertical and not the target...

    I miss my 375, but to be honest, I do not miss the $8 per round ($160 per 20) to feed it..but it was a nice piece for kit. Someone on here has it now and I think they will be enjoying it....

    that's impressive load development and shooting, sir. Especially given the recoil, no brake or suppressor.

    Took me a bit to "click" with it but now I've got it mastered and the recoil doesn't intimidate me, just loaded up 3 more of the same and went back to confirm and shot similar group again so I'll load up the rest of my projectiles at that load and a hunting I will go

    excellent-that's what my 416 does. Got the load data and group sizes from when I did them 20 years ago. dimensions suggest holes touching on my reloads at 40m mucking around.
    The loads I had done were under an inch at a hundy.
    375H+H is meant to be a pretty accurate calibre.
    Good shooting

    take care when shooting prone. It might be ok today but you might feel a bit of a niggle tomorrow.
