I predict that a Barnes 250 TTSX or Hornady 250 GMX will WIN the penetration contest ! any BETS ? jmo RJ

They probably will but I only use the small bullets like those for fireforming brass.
It seems like my 375s prefer 300 gr. or heavier for hunting.

Got some bullets in the mail today. Some of those are pretty ###y!! Thanks guys! Still looking for some Matrix.

Are you going to test some 300g bullets.

Are you going to test some 300g bullets.

300 gr-ers are just too much bullet for a 375 ruger - i would have to lend steve my M700 XCR 11 Real KING 375 H&H to test 300 + gr bullets - RJ

I'd love to but I have a limited supply of newspaper at the moment so I'm going to concentrate on the midweight this time. Maybe in Part II.

Says the guy who owned a .375 Ruger for a week and was so scared of its power that he sold it right away.

I had seen your post John, I should have specified, I'm looking for the 270gr version to keep it consistent with the other midweight I'm testing. Thanks for the offer though.

A more memorable calibre designation/example is the .366 Wagner.

Great to see you doing this test bcsteve. I'm going to put my money on the CEB bullets as deep penetrators. Bring enough news paper!

 

[philthygeezer]

Looking forward to your work!

 

[marshman]

I'll play, PM me your address I'll send a few 270gn. But I'll bet on a mono as well

 

[regulate34]

I got some 300g sierras
300g hornady IL round nose
300g partitions.

 

[skimmer]

Looking forward to results. There should be one of these done for all the big calibers.

The more photos and data the better!
