Hey Bob, it would be interesting to see how the old 275gr. BBC (Bitteroots) did against these newer bullets..

bsa: It would. I suspect they will hold their own.But I don't worry much about it because I've already "tested" the 250 gr- 375 BBC on brown bear,which beats most tests we can do. smile

I'll see if I can dig it up and text a picture to you. I think you will like it.I only found one. The other two made pretty big holes in the bear on the way out. smile

An acquaintance of mine has used the 275 BBC from the 375 on about a dozen coastal and interior grizzlies. he gives the same reports.

Another old acquaintance from out west, now deceased,used the 250 BBC from the 375 AI on half a dozen Cape buffalo in Africa.

The BBC is pretty well proven. On animals. Steigers made sure they were thoroughly tested.

I would expect a BBC to do about the same as a Swift Aframe or Northfork.
