Never meant to disrespect the Red Hartebeest. I'm sure he's a fine fellow. What would an average size bull weigh on the hoof?

UPDATE: Have gone to the dark side. Since starting this post I have 150 rounds through the CZ, its wearing a 3x9x40 Leupold. The practice load is Win - 760 @ 78.6 with a 250 SGK col = 3.600. My chrono says this is 2700 fps. This load has been consistently shooting 1.25" when I test off...

Update: Continuing load development. Most promising load to date is W-760 @ 76.8, Federal Match-LMR, 250 grain SGK. 2700 fps. Shot an 1.25" group off the bench. I'm not sure what a stock 375 H&H CZ 550 is capable of for accuracy, this is my first experience with a big bore(I guess...

Thank you for your response and advice. I truly appreciate all the feedback. I apologize to everyone if I've come across as a smart a#$(as I've been accused), that was never my intention. One thing I'm learning is there is a lot of passion on this forum and some folks hold some strong...

What powder are you using with the 250 - GMX? I bought a box of 250 grain - GMX, burning IMR 4064 during barrel run in and quickly ran out of case capacity. I assume the GMX is a long bullet that takes up capacity. First try at loading for 375.

Thanks for sharing, have used 175 SGK in a 7mm Rem Mag to take Whitetails,Mule Deer, Elk and Moose at 2900 fps, with never any complaints.

Obviously, the 235 Speer worked for you, what did you run for powder?

Sorry, I guess I hold the plain old Game Kings in higher regard than yourself. We all have our experiences, I'm just looking for a little advice from folks that have been their and done that.

Yes, you're right.

Not really, just grew up dreaming of Africa and reading about the 375 H&H and 458 Win in every issue of Outdoor Life I could scrounge up. Just seems to me to be the right thing to do. The middle age practical side of me thinks I should pack my beat up Tikka 7mm Rem Mag stuff it with 175...

Hello, first post. Planning first trip to Namibia for 2018. Proud new owner of an out of the box CZ 550 375 H&H. Have 25 rounds through barrel run in, need to do some trigger work, but really like it. My question is would a 250 grain Game King work for Kudu, Mountain Zebra, and Oryx? In...
