Re: 375H&H ammo....

In trying out various factory .375 H&H ammo in my BRNO 602, I was pleasantly surprised at just how accurate PMC's 270 load was, which uses Barnes 270gn X HP. M.V. is 2690 fps for 4337 fpe. (PMC loads this bullet in their "Gold" Eldorado line).

Using the open iron sights, it put 4-shot groups into 2" @ 100yds. These landed higher than other factory 270gn loads I've shot, such as Remington's. But that was corrected with a taller front sight, and so this load should be right on at 200yds. It was just one of those things where you stumble across a factory load your rifle happens to shoot very well. I'm sure with a scope the groups will shrink to at least 1", but haven't yet had the time to do more extensive testing.

Once I saw how tight it shot with the PMC 270gn Barnes X-HPs, I had my dealer order about 15 boxes (20rds per), and got a great deal too as he passed on most his price break to me.
