Looking for more reach then my .375 ..options?

I absolutely love my model 70 in
375 h&h but i want a caliber that is equivalent in power but has longer reach out and touch them range... Opinions?
300PRC would be a good one. But you can get it done with the .375 H&H, .375 248gr Hammer Hunter can be loaded to 3000fps ish in the .375 H&H. That would be a legit 600yd plus gun.
 
If you have an accurate rifle and can range and dial the .375's will go pretty far.
 
With modern scopes ability to dial up to exact ranges, a range finder and the appropriate app on your phone a good rifleman/woman can hit target at some very long ranges. The ethics of long range shooting is one you have to answer to yourself. IE DO I TRULY have the skills to execute a long range shot to cleanly harvest my target animal. Is my rifle capable. (In my opinion long range rifle need to be able to shoot 1/2 MOA at worst). Will my shooting position provide the necessary stable shooting platform to make the shot. along with environmental factors. etc.
 
I have been working on this idea myself for a few years now. Tried a 338 win mag, didn't get me to where I thought I wanted to be. Have been shooting 375 H&H with CEB 235 gr Safari Raptors with good success. I just loaded about 100 yesterday. 73 gr IMR 4064, CCI 250 primer, new RP cases. Ruger #1 H, getting 2875 fps. This load is safe in my rifle, not a max load. I am not looking for long range performance, just flatter shooting with good performance with a little less recoil. I have killed 2 cow elk with this load, terminal performance is outstanding. I think this load would work for anything short of cape buffalo. Something along this line would be an outstanding plains game load.
 
260gr Accubond running towards the upper end is very easy shooting out to 300ish range. I do it all the time on the range, not itching to do it on game, but the combo is very capable of it.
 
Your 375 has about the same trajectory as a 30-06 with I consider to be excellent. Ream it out to 375 AI and get a bit more, maybe.
The above poster is right about the CEB long range bullets. CEB has chart on their website to check for required twist rate for their long range bullets. This is important.
