270 speer bt in 375 ruger

Has anyone tried these out in either the Ruger or the H&H? Ballistically they seem good but more concerned if they were easy to get accurate loads? Has anyone tested them hunting or in expansion media tests?

I shot the 270 gr BTSP in my .375 H&H and they were accurate (close to MOA) with IMR 4350 and have a fairly high BC (.436) for a large game bullet. I never shot anything with these bullets except 4 foot douglas fir 4x4's which they went through, probably because the bullet split the wood. Mine were Hot Cores and may be different now.

IIRC the 270 gr BTSP is built differently than the Hot Cor and Speer claims it isn't as tough as them either. It would be interesting to see how tough the current bullet is, I have thought about them as well as a companion practice bullet to the tougher 260 gr AccuBond.
