My Marlin .375 is very accurate with my handload using sierra 200 grainers or the 200 grn factory load. The 220 hornadys shoot better in my Win BB.375 then they do in the Marlin, but certainly shoot well enough for hunting.

As you would sight the rifle to shoot it drive the sight out left to right. A brass drift punch works good or even a spent cartridge, hitting the base of cartridge. I have put a piece of cloth between sight and punch and be careful not to hit barrel. Hope this helps.
