Just 1680 or did you mean with the 255gr bullets?


The two bullets shoot to such a wildly different point of aim that re-sighting is a challenge. That's why I wish we had a 220-230 grain FTX bullet that would both penetrate well and expand to 200 yards. The better ballistic coefficient of the FTX would cleave to speed so it could be made to expand well at long range. As is I have shifted to 270 grain hard cast for my 375 with a big bluff meplat. Penetrates great and the blunt nose gives fair (but somewhat marginal) destruction of tissue.

This is a rifle in search of a better all round bullet, and an opportunity for Hornady. A 225 FTX would be the bomb. The small company custom bullets are too hard to import into Canada.


FYI, Vollmer bullets makes a 220 jacked flattop.
