Bullet Selection for Grizzly which one????

[Weatherby2]

Good day folks so i was down in my reloading room doing some thinking too what 375 cal bullet would work best if I by chance get drawn for spring grizz! My choices are:

1) 260gr Nos Partition
2) 270gr Barnes TSX
3) 250gr Hornady GMX
4) 250gr Barnes TTSX

I do have other bullets to chose from but just wanted to see what other folks on here would choose out of these 4 choices listed.

Thanks in advance

Uhmmmm... close your eyes and pick a box...

Obviously any of them would do. Being a Barnes fan and seeing I have 50 rounds of .375 Ruger loaded with 250gr TTSX, this is what I would use. Worked good on a moose last fall.

They will all work but I like nosler partition for deep penetration.

 

[norskie]

Those are all great choices.

Whichever one the rifle likes?

Any one of those put in the right place will do the job.

Where are you hoping to get drawn, if you're talking NW coast 270 TSX.........any where else which ever tickles your fancy.

I put in for 7-04 over by Mcbride BC

Mountain bears, use which ever bullet from the list your gun likes best..............

In land grizz. Anything 250g and up should be a 1 way ticked to the rug department. From my research you don't want to be much over 200yrds shot on a grizz. I would sling some 300g lead for fun. I belive a 270tsx would smash the Shoulders and put a bear down. Have fun and keep shooting.

At the risk of being called repetitive, choose any of those bullets, and go hunting.

As has been suggested, use the one that your rifle shoots best.

I've experienced excellent performance from a cheap old interloc, so anything on your list is golden. A Shoemaker quote comes to mind here. Realistically you have a list of bullet clones there, all identical performance. From my experience with Grizzlies getting close to them is not a challenge, so not that you are, but don't even sweat ballistic coefficients. You won't be shooting far enough for it to matter.

 

[chappy]

all are good but i would go with the noz partition.

 

[Dogleg]

From your list, I'd go with the Partition.

Well i loaded up 5 rnds of each and its a toss up between the 250gr ttsx and the 260gr Partition the GMX well for better words just didn't cut it and the 270 gr tsx were really good i just don't have that many of them to start load development. I've been using imr 4007SSC what other powders would you suggest ? I'm shooting a 375 Ruger

 

[regulate34]

My 375ruger has been great with 250g 260g and a bunch of 300g. With IMR4350 and H4350.
H4895 and varget worked well on the 250g.

 

[bcsteve]

H4350 and 250gr TTSX in my .375 Ruger.

I'd go with the NP, but it is likely a moot point.
