Local store has nice supply at $27 per 50. While I like 260gr NP's and Acc., this is a good price. Just checking to see what peoples' thoughts are on this bullet.

Great bullet for an H&H, not quite as good when pushed to higher velocities. memtb

All the reports I've heard have been very good. I too use 260gr. partitions, but bought a couple boxes of the Hornady 270's for cheaper practice bullets. I have high hopes for them as my 375 doesn't seem to be picky. Good luck with yours BW..
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I used them in a 375 weatherby I had yrs ago kills elk I do know that.
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

Used them in a 375 Wby and several 375 H&H guns. They performed well on thin-skinned animals up to and including elk.
The several I recovered retained their weight moderately well...50-75%.

My coworker and I used them in both in factory ammunition our 375 Ruger Guide guns. He shot a cow elk at 265yds. on a damage control hunt last year and got 80% weight retention on the bullet recovered. I shot a mule deer doe at 150yds on a damage control hunt and it was a complete pass through. Just needed to trim a little around exit hole. Chronographed at 2777fps. out of our rifles.
Nothing like a Remington 700xcr.

I push them at 2510. I have the older 3710 stocked up. It's got a much larger exposed tip. The 3711 is similar to a PP. Hornady said they changed it because of deformed tips being common in the 3710. They produce excellent results in big whittails. I would assume large hogs, elk, bear, any NA game would find them deadly. Accuracy is great. I'm guessing it's due to contrinicity.

Thanks again. Now with a cancellation moose hunt booked, I will be shooting it a bit more to be consistently accurate.
