Has any body used these on elk, grizzley, and African plains game? Have just purchased a new rifle and hopefully my gun will like them, I was inquiring about the 270 grain bullet weight. Also has anyone have experience with Sierra Game Kings for this caliber.

My wife uses the 270gr in her Sako .375.
Performance leaves nothing to be desired on African game. Get the coated bullets if you can, the plain X-bullets leave vast amounts of copper in the bore. I have used the Xs in 165gr in .300 Winmag on bear and elk. Performance was spectacular. Rob |

Mackie. Can't say anything about the X bullets. The 300 gr Sierra bullet is another matter. very accurate in a .375x338 Mag. wildcat and also accurate in a Ruger #1 in .375 H&H. BTW. The wildcat duplicates the H&H in a 30-06 length action, and seems to kick a bit less. it's one of my favorite rifles.

i have been loading my .416 with barnes x bullets but first i moly coat the bullets.this reduces the copper fouling greatly and improves the accuarcy.i suggest you do the same with your .375.h@h

Remember to start your bullets IAW the Barnes Manual - I think it's a tenth off the lands.
My experiance with X bullets leads me to think that your rifle either likes them or hates them. The .338 and up rifles seem to like'em more often than sub-.338 caliber rifles. I'm going to send this post over to Reloading and see if we can get more answers there.. Giz [This message has been edited by Gizmo99 (edited June 13, 2000).] |
