This 375 H&H IS known for excessive accuracy

No cherry picking - all at 100 yds with 4x magnification and will do it "all day long" (or until my shoulder gives out grin )

When I really feel like a "poser", I prefer a Ballard with blackpowder...

Don't see too many guys using the 270 gr Speer BT, how does it perform on game? They obviously shoot well and must be decent if you are still using them.

I don't hunt a lot with the 375 but have shot one cow elk with it and the 270 Speer. Jumped her out of her bed at 40 yds - head on shot in chest. She went from standing upright to 4 legs straight up in the air without taking a step. Never found an exit or the bullet - probably in the gut pile, but it didn't seem to be overly explosive as the rumors indicate. I don't shoot many Speer bullets but the gun counter manager at the LGS here swears by them.


That sounds impressive, thanks for the info.
