Sounds like you are satisfied with them. Care to share your reloading recipe?

I ordered some as well and had a great range session. Here are some good loads to try:
76gr H-414 (or W 748) F-215primer (about 2560 fps, 24" barrel Mod 70)
OR 74gr RL-15 and F-210 primers (a cleaner load)

I think I have this backwards .... I picked up 300, now I'm looking for a .375 to sling them.

Thank You. I actually have about 4 pounds of RL-15 sitting around. I was going to try Varget, but I will definitely give your load a try first. (CZ 550-w-24" barrel). I've never used 270 grain bullets ... probably slightly less recoil than the 300 grains I have been using. Should be fun.

I think you meant 76 gr H414 (or W760). W748 is the equivalent of H335.....unless you don't like the guy smile.

Thanks for the heads up!
I ordered 500. That should be fun for shooting deer in the woods. We have some pretty thick cover in the woods.


I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger!

Brown truck came today.
Found out that the driver has three cousins living close that are actively looking for someone to shoot bears in the corn fields.
Is this a great country or what?

Will these bullets expand on deer or black bear?

I would say the expansion and meat damage on deer would be minimal. Black bear slightly more I don't believe you would find one to examine.

I am thinking they are going to act like a Horn. 220 RN out of a 30-06.

i poorly placed one into the spine of a management whitetail doe in january. I lost the complete backstrap from the trauma of the 8" section of spine leaving the body pushed by the bullet. if it werent for the ribs and skin holding things together it would have been pretty well split into.



try not to do that.

I just got a couple hundred yesterday and Ive been curious about the "blemished" title. Ive looked at a mess of Noslers, Sierras and others and have never seen a thing. On these however I guess because the light was just right i could see a finely burnished ring on some of the ogives. Id guess it was just a build up of some kind of swarf in the dies and it just burnished the surface. If they find more than a few in a run they probably drop their entire run because it costs too much to polish or individually sort. So most of the "blemished' are probably not blemished. Good news.


precision is group shooting, accuracy is hitting your intended target.

Well, this did it. I bought a couple of boxes of the Hornady 270 grn blemished spire points. Couldn't pass up that deal.

I've been waiting for a long time for an excuse to buy a .375 H&H. Went to a local gun shop and traded in a couple of guns I never shoot anymore for a CZ550 safari.

I'm guessing I'm not the only one that's ever done something like this - ??

The worst thing that could happen would be that the bullet may "overpenetrate".
