Rolly, I'm still curious as to what JJ Hack said about the particular bullet in question. I bought a chit load of them and figured that's all I'd ever shoot out of my 375. Main purpose around here will be for elk duties. Even though we all know that kind of power is not needed. Good luck on your hunt and let us know what worked out for you. Thanks..
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

The 375 H & H with 260 grain Nosler partitions worked flawlessly. My shot was broadside thru the eland at about 40 yards and the mushroomed slug was found just under the off-side hide. My PH said he saw the blood splash out when the bullet hit. A high, lung, behind the shoulder shot.

Congrats Rolly. Thanks for letting us know. I'm glad it worked out for you since that's the bullet of my choice for bigger critters around here...

Does anybody think the above load is insufficient for Eland? I am planning to use it in May in RSA with JJHack as my outfitter. I would love to read your opinions. No worries about not sufficient enough but would be as precise as possible with my first shot which is modis operandi anyway with any pill. Are you committed to that bullet? Just me but I would prefer the Barnes 270-gr TSX or the same in the 250-gr TTSX.

George - looks like he already killed his eland. Guess that's committed to the bullet...  "The 375 H & H with 260 grain Nosler partitions worked flawlessly. My shot was broadside thru the eland at about 40 yards and the mushroomed slug was found just under the off-side hide. My PH said he saw the blood splash out when the bullet hit. A high, lung, behind the shoulder shot."Regards, Guy

Yea, behind the curve..Hard not to like the 375 with any decent bullet on PG.
Rolls, congrats on the eland.

I did not feel undergunned on Eland with my 300 H&H shooting 180gr Barnes TTSX. Complete pass through, both shoulders.
