Bullets are everything. If something worked really well, I made sure I had plenty.

I have some screw machine 180 30 calibers. I'll never use them. You want them? smile

They work good,but I am down to one 30 caliber rifle (30/06) and have 165 Bitterroots for that .




The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

That's what I will be using up there this spring. Also highly recommended by my outfitter.

Haven't made up my mind yet. Still shopping. Talking to a couple of guys.

I was actually thinking in terms of 2017, but there certainly are opportunities available this year.

Phil,

Is the difference between "I would be happiest with someone using any of the Noslers" and your present .375 favorite 270 TSX due to the difference between somebody you're guiding, and you backing up?

Mostly talking with Mike Gardner / Riata outfitters right now. He's got a couple of different hunts that both interest me.

My guide was a more than an definite yes for the TSX or TBBC and "ho hum" with the Partition. This out of a 375 H&H. Just another 30 year sample I suppose.

My first choice Nosler Partitions - 300 grain
Last choice the Speers.


I prefer classic.

I have been using various iterations of X bullets for quite a while... I am stuck on 270gr TSX in the 375AI. I have never recovered a single one, even when shot end to end.

Of those listed below, I would go with the 300 gr Nosler Partition.
My own personal choice would be the 270 gr TSX for all larger things North American. Works exceedingly well on moose and have confidence that it would work as well on large bear.
Probably not many wrong answers with a 375 H&H and any decently constructed bullet that shoots well in your rifle.

Looks like I may have the opportunity to hunt grizzly/brown bear in the not-too-distant future.

I'm a handloader, and have accumulated quite a stash of .375" bullets. Trying to pick one for that hunt.

260 Nosler Accubonds - have a few left - and am happy with them
270 Nosler Partitions - the old screw machine bullets - have about 150
300 Nosler Partitions - some old, some new - have about 200

285 Speer Grand Slam - have fewer than 50

270 Hornady Round Nose - about 100
270 Hornady Spire Point - about 100
300 Hornady SPBT - about 200 (also very accurate from my rifle)
300 Hornady Round Nose - about 100

Any bad choices there?

Thanks, Guy

Although not mentioned so far, the Swift A-Frame - at least the original - works well on heavy game. However, it also delivers quite a bit of energy on smaller animals, interestingly enough.

Great question.

The 270 TSX has a stellar reputation, from what I've read, in Africa so why not Alaska/Canada?

Like JB, I'd like to hear Phil's NPT and TSX comparison.

Both seem to work.

I'm leaning NPT, but am open to more info.

Not me I'll take a 270 TSX any and every day.

+1 or 300 TSX.


It is better to be judged by 12 than to be carried by 6.
