Hello from Montana

Welcome to AH.
In the .375 try WW748 powder with a 300gr Barnes TSX. Start with 70gr and work up To 75gr.
I think you need to upgrade to a .700 NE for prairie dogs. There was something left.
I'm kicking around building a 500A2 or 550 mag, a 12 ga from hell, and I would love to get my hands on a full weight 4 bore rifle
 
I've been around here for a few months now, figured I should make an account and ask some questions. I'm from north central Montana, and like big guns. I hunt gophers mostly, and do a little elk hunting in the fall. One of these years I will get to Africa but it might be a while. My favorite rifles, other than the next one, would be my model 70, 375 H&H, and a 600 nitro made by Little Sharps Rifle company of Big Sandy Mt. If you have some reload data for both those rounds I would love to hear it.

Welcome to AH from rural Idaho. I’m sure you will find the answers you need here. Enjoy! Sue Tidwell
 
Good day! Welcome!!
 
Maybe we'll run into each other some time. I'm formerly a resident of Chinook having grown up on the West Side. I'm back to the Hi Line every fall to hunt birds and deer.

Welcome from West Texas…Montana is a wonderful state & consider it my second home. I hope to hunt there soon, wolves & upland game…after Africa, of course! Good luck with your venture to the dark continent.
 
Welcome to AH! Glad to have you on board.
 
Welcome and enjoy the forum from north bridgers.

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

2,822fps, ES 8.2
This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.
