One of my all-time favorites, some of you might remember I added yet another to the collection last year, this time in the form of a Ruger #1 Tropical rifle. I hadn't had much time to play with it until recently, and had only fired it with loads I had assembled for a Model 70. It had actually done quite well with those loads, a Nosler Partition and a Sierra boat tail, both weighing 300 grains and both propelled by a healthy dose of W-W #760.
Well, after trying several different powders and a couple of other 300 grain bullets (I won't go light - that's what .338's are for), it turns out those originally tried M70 loads were the ones it liked best. So, I now find myself in the happy situation of having the same loads for my two "working" .375's. Anyway, here it is wearing a Leupold 1-4x. I'll probably hunt with an XS ghost ring peep setup to trim the rig down a bit, but the scope helped during load testing.
