Nice discussion and shooting Men, the 270 gr tsx has become my "ALL" 375 bullet for hunting, the H&H will push them to an easy 2800 fps, the AI version settles nicely at 3000 fps, both have the accompanying 300 gr Barnes banded solids for no other reason than that they seem to go together.
Hell, may find myself in Africa some day carrying either of those rifles.

The Rube Goldberg .375 AI is one beautiful rifle. I tried sending the I-Phone photo I got from gunner, to my email for upload to Photobucket for a link to post. I keep getting "error" messages out the gazoo, my email not receiving my I-Phone photo. So, no photo for Photobucket upload. Maybe my equipment doesn't like gunner's equipment. In this cyber world, who knows. I know just enough to get me in trouble. Anyway, no photo to post. But, it's a gorgeous rifle. Unfortunately you guys, at this time, will just have to take my word for it... Maybe one of you can send gunner a PM, get his info and a download of that photo to post. DF

Here you are lads: Safari Express, 300gr Swift Aframes & Hornady Interlocks. 76gr H-414 F-215 primer WW cases, 2550 fps: ![[Linked Image]](http://www.lavikinga.com/jorge/Rojo_Target_setup_1.jpg) Recovered from eland, wildebeest, zebra (last one is a 180gr Hornady from an impala and a 300 WBY. HINT: USE TTSX now): ![[Linked Image]](http://www.lavikinga.com/jorge/jjr_5.jpg) 300gr TSX 74gr RL-15 F-210 primers (JJHACK's Load): ![[Linked Image]](http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc437/jorgeIg/c1d3fd83-c653-4e02-91df-0c0fe3f2df8d_zps2e49cc26.jpg) Note: Barnes solids shoot to POI as well. Awesome shooting Jorge. I always love seeing excellent shooting 375's.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

WCH,could be. After shooting a .338 RUM with 250 gr Sierras at 3000 fps,that sure rattled the noggin.
Tried the 260's (NP and Accubond) in my other .375 and they just did't work to my satisfaction. Hoping the NP's will work better in this .375.

gunner gets all excited just thinking about that... That's just peanuts compared to shooting Okie dillers with a Gibbs. DF
