Thats where youre wrong brother! Ive shot my 375 H&H out to 400 yards and its pretty dang impressive!If you can afford to hunt Cape buffalo in Africa, surely you can afford two rifles. It's insane to carry a rifle that big and heavy with no possible ability to shoot any further than 100 yds for deer size game. Come on man!

What's the drop in inches or MOA on that slug. That's what's impressive!

Id have to look back at my charts but its not NEARLY as much as you would think! Best I remember its somewhere along the lines of a 30/06 with a 180gr bullet.

I have this much committed to memory: from a 100 yd zero, 16 clicks or 4 MOA puts you dead on at 300. Id have to pull the rifle out of the safe and check the charts to get you the 400 yard zero, but that should give you an idea.

Depends on the bullet BC and speed but your talking around 8-10 MOA of drop at 400 yds. That's 32-40 inches. Lots of possibility for error. But hey, to each his own!

Not really, not if you range it, dial it, then you WILL kill it. I dont estimate anything, if I cant set for it I dont shoot at it.
