Just picked up a box of 270 grain Speer .375cal boat tails. How are they on game?

Thanks,
Steve

It's a .375 caliber bullet weighing 270gr, I think it will do fine on game.

well I figured that lol, was hoping to get some real life data.

Unfortunately I don't shoot a monster rifle like yours, but my favorite bullet for the ought six is the Speer 165 gr BTSP. Although it is supposed to be a lighter construction bullet comparatively (at least in the more conventional calibers), it usually holds together quite well for me. I guess there's only one way to find out how it works.

I shot a whitetail doe at 80 yds right between the eyes with that bullet out of a 375 H&H @2650 fps, all that was left was the bottom jaw and two ears. Works good I thought

What kind of game and what 375 cartridge? What behaves civilly when driven into the ribs of a whitetail at 200 yards from the H&H may not be so inclined when it hits a Cape Buffalo at 25 yards out of a 378 Weatherby.

H&H of course! I think that .378 would be a bit much for me.......
