Re: Regarding Group
|
In reply to:
Finally got my .375H&H to regulate with 300 grain bullets. Six shot group 2.4" at 50y but is slightly low. I shoot an oval target where the 10 ring is 2" wide and 3" tall. I got 5 in the 10 ring and one in the 9, but they clusterd around 5 o-clock. My 270s and 235s cluster in the 10 ring perfectly.
How can I raise the group without opening it up?
Bonanza , I would adjust my sights to the 300 gr load, and use nothing but 300 gr bullets, in your double rifle! I have never seen the sense in useing light bullets, in a 375 H&H rifle, they will do nothing better than the 300s, so the 300 gr is my only weight in my, several, 375 H&H rifles!
If you simply have to use light bullets in your 375, then they should be your second choice, the 300s are what is required for dangerous game!
NE 450 No2 has found that useing a bullet that is 75% of the weight of your heavy bullet, (in this case the 300 gr), with the same powder charge for heavy bullet, will usually regulate the same as the big bullet! A 225 gr bullet is 75% of a 300 gr bullet, so useing your 235 gr with the same powder charge as the 300 gr bullet should work for practice, and shooting at paper!
