What weight TSX .375 bullet?


all the .375s are 300 grains.

the one that tumbled was a 160gr out of a 280ai


IMHO & E the 300's in 375 have too long if a shank and need a faster twist to remain 100% stabile after impact. The same with the 200 grainers in 30 caliber. I shooter nothing in mono metals heavier than 180 in 30 caliber, 225 in 338 caliber and 270 in 375 caliber.


I'm with you on the concept but disagree about the 300gr .375s or 250gr .338s (although I do use 225s now instead). I've had nary a problem in 15 or so elk/moose.

I have had weird stuff happen with:

150gr .270
180gr .30
160gr .284
