Hi
I don’t have a left handed 375 Ruger but I do have a 375 Ruger that I got to go back to Africa for a Cap Buffalo.
I also got a Leapold 1-5 for it.
i haven’t made it back to Africa and I have shot some 300 grain through it.
When I found some 275 grain shells I went from a zero at 100 to one at 200.
I am planning to take it on an elk hunt some day.
Here is the first round at the range with the 275 shells.
the top one was the first time at 200. The small holes were my 204 Ruger I shoot when I go out.
The second one was shooting the 375 at 300 yards. The ballistics said it would be 8 inches low at 300.
I set up the target the size of the smaller targets above at 8 inches. I got one an inch and a half low and got the two shots one an inch and a half high of the 8 inches low line. That is with a 5 power scope the cross hairs covered the dot at 300.
I was thrilled with those results.
The other 1-3 were my 300 WM at 300 yards.
An inch and a half high so I moved it down.
But also a great group at 300 yards.
I am using a scope with the circles to aim off.
I should aim more to the middle of the first circle down.
