375 tejas (375 rum improved) 3100 fps muzzle velocity. I tested the 300 grn gameking in wet newsprint at 625 and 840 yards and then shot an elk at 59 yards. The elk was hit faceing me and hit low center left in the neck passing just above the heart hitting one lung, the liver, stomach and stopping in the off side ribs after penitrating for 27". The bullet jacket and core were found just two inches apart. The elk dropped at the shot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1Er9fOcbSQ&feature=plcp

That is a lot of raw power hitting your elk. I don't doubt that he dropped at the shot. Great data.
 
Wow! Awesome results. That is one tough Sierra!

I can't imagine any elk taking that kinda energy and going anywhere! Great pictures.
 
Congratulations on your elk. Great bullet performance.

3100 fps from your 375 RUM Improved with a 300 grain bullet?

Are you running a 30" tube or what?
 
"I tested the 300 grn gameking in wet newsprint at 625 and 840 yards and then shot an elk at 59 yards."

Ironic isn't it? :grin:

Congratulations, and thanks for sharing that info. 300 grains is a lot of bullet!
 
I guess 2000 fps s the expansion minimum for that Sierra huh? :mrgreen:
 
They do look like some hard bullets Fotis.

How does the 300 AB hold up under that same kinda test?
 
You just have to love the 375RUM, regardless if it's the original version or an "improved" version. I'm getting about 2800 something outta my 375RUM with 300ABs.

Yeah, that is beastly Rich. The 375 RUM is probably my favorite of the bunch. Really makes good use of all that case.
 
thank you!


so at 3100 fps MV your max range (for expanding) is 700-750 or so?
