Was wondering what there was out there for .375 cal bullets with high BCs. I want to have the grain weight be between 250gr and 300gr. They will be used in a 1 in 14" twist 20" and 22" barrel for various hunting ranges on all sizes of game (medium game I will be goin for a through and through shot and big game I want to have the big knockdown punch). I just picked up a Rockchucker reloading set and two Ruger .375 H&Hs, ones the Alaskan Guide and the other is just the regular one. Thanks for the help.

Re: .375 bullet selection
Not familiar with the Ruger Alaskan Guide model. I thought they only made the 375 H&H in their safari line and the #1, with the Hawkeye Alaskan chambered in .375 Ruger.
As far as high-bc bullets, the selection may not be very high. Medium-bores like a 9.3 and .375 are intended more for larger-game hunting as opposed to long-range work, so projectiles tend to be made with that in mind, sacrificing long-range qualities for energy retention and tough construction. Well, maybe not sacrificing, per se, but the former certainly takes a back seat to the latter.

Re: .375 bullet selection
I thought there might be a few high BC bullets atleast due to the .375CT... Was hoping there might be a few lighter ones cause the only one I've found is the 330gr Lehigh Match that has a BC of .941 and the 250 and 260gr Nosler Accubonds which are right around .43 BC.
I doubt you will find the Alaskan Guide model on their website. I've only seen it twice and decided it was time to get one. 20" barrel, stainless steel and composite. It's got a set of irons on it but I don't think they're express sights.
