375 H&H long distance hunter????? Can it be done.

[Prebanpaul]

So here is what I was thinking. I have want to create a gun that I can pretty much hunt everything in the world with.

I have the fun guns, 260, 6.5 saum, 5.56, 22 magnum, and so on.

So my thought was that I have a sako trgs in 375 H&H with a carbine length barrel on it.

I was thinking about having a new barrel put on this gun. My thought is to figure out what twist will stabilize the 350 grain bullets. Make the barrel 24 inches and medium weight.

I ran a ballistic app on it, and it should shoot almost exactly with my 168 FGMM copy load 40 moa at 1000 yards.

I understand its going to kick like a mule. But once its sited in, I should never feel the recoil again. I have guns for fun. I want to become the cliché for hunting " Beware of the man with one gun, because he knows how to use it. "

Any thought process on this am I missing something. I think that it would stay supersonic out to 1350 yards. I would never shoot that far at an animal. SO that is not a concern for me. Furthest I would be shooting is 1000.

I think you'd want to start with considering a .375 Ackley or .375 Weatherby chambering. If I remember correctly I could run the 300 grain Sierra to just south of 2800 in a 24" barrel. Not sure what you could get the 350 up to.

We've played with the 375 H&H out to 750 ish yards, it's very capable. Pretty hard on steel up close, used just a 1.4x10 scope, but sure, it will work fine.

Oh, and that was using stock 300 grain TSX factory ammo. 2500 fps or so, pretty mild.
