Moose HNTR if I remember correctly I had to use over 14 inches of old magazines duck taped together to catch these bullets. It’s a good way to recover bullets for testing, though it might not be as accurate as a real life situation. The magazines are pretty dense and hard.

I had a Ruger African in 375. I never killed anything with it, just shot it off the bench at steel plates. Here is some bullets I shot into a stack of magazines at about 25 yards. The 250gr. TTSX weigh 233gr, 247gr, & 248gr. The 300 TSX weigh 299gr. & 314gr. The 314gr. Has pieces of paper lodged in between the pedals. I believe the 250gr. was close to 3000fps. When I bought the rifle I googled and read everything I couldn’t on handloads. This link has some good info in it https://forums.outdoorsdirectory.co...g/68345-375-ruger-barnes-300gr-tsx-rl-17you can read apparently not

What the F are you talking about? Go back to your imagery stuff for sale threads. Big boys are talking in this thread.

Your a douche bag, now go shove your head up your old lady’s hole. And unlike you I post pictures when I sell something or want to show and tell. Not imagery thoughts in my head.

The 300gr A-Frame, TBBC and Northfork would be my top 3. The A-Frame is what I use for everything.

I guess my 260gr Nosler Partitions aren't any good . . . .
I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.

I guess my 260gr Nosler Partitions aren't any good . . . . They aren’t too bad. Nosler 260gr Partition Average Penetration (inches): 17.83 Average Weight Retained (grain): 207.3 Average Weight Retained (%): 79.7 Average Expansion (inches): 0.690 Note: Typical Partition performance. The top lead portions are just sitting on top of those bullets, they are no longer attached.

I've used the .375 H&H a bit and seen it used a lot on both moose and brown bear. IME the 300 grain Partition makes a larger diameter wound and the 270 TSX makes a deeper wound channel, comparatively. I've used the 250 TTSX recently and remain undecided as to any advantage it provides over the 270 TSX. I've also the 260 Accubond with perfect results, though I normally recover the 260s from larger moose. For brown bear I continue to load 300 grain Partitions/Accubonds as I want maximum wounding and depth of penetration is rarely an issue. For this years moose I used a 250 TTSX and expect I'll use that combination again. FWIW, the 270 Hornady SP has also performed well in the past for me, but since I became a bullet snob I haven't used it on game.
Suck bullets simply suck.

The Hornady 270 IL did pretty good in my test for a cup and core bullet. Hornady 270gr Interlock Average Penetration (inches): 18 Average Weight Retained (grain): 228.7 Average Weight Retained (%): 84.7 Average Expansion (inches): 0.90 Note: Very impressed with this plain vanilla cup and core. If you compare it to the Partition, it penetrated deeper, retained more weight and expanded wider! No sign of the core slipping.

That's one bullet I've been looking for but have not yet been able to find.

Ditto. Have a partial box of the pre-rounded tip version, also some of the discontinued 270 and 300 gr RNs . They all punch one ragged hole from my GG. Hoping the RP will be available again in this lifetime.
