255 grain barnes 0 brings out the best of the 375 win. round here we tend to shoot animals first,before shooting off at the mouth about ballistic hypotheticals. Campfire is the opposite, gotta overthink everything.

That same load was used on a coastal brown bear by another fella:

And where does a guy, just starting with a 375, buy those? Or is asking shooting off at the mouth?
