Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters 235 gr tsx and .375 H&H

This guy, stopped...



...this 235 TSX at around 150 yards when fired at around 2600 fps. (The bullet penetrated to the hide, then bounced back a hand's width back inside the bullet path. This was into the shoulder muscles; a second bullet landed further back and didn't exit either.)



This 300 Partition was fired into the shoulders of a wounded moose from less than 50 yards (from an H&H rifle).

I've seen Hornady .375 270 and 300 SPs stopped in much smaller animals. Cup and cores work great when you get lung shots; not so much when a big bone gets in the way; (too much ruined meat sometimes.)

As was pointed out, moose are not hard to kill. They can challenge good bullets however. Agree on the pelvis as a show stopper if need be. Stately monolithics have worked perfectly in messing things up without ruining meat. (May not work so kindly when lobbing copper/bronze from a 7mm mag or 300 mag however.)
