Very impressive results for sure. That expanded bullet shows what I would expect from a mono.
Forgot to add good luck on your safari this weekend.

Awsome! Let us know how the 3.6 COL performs. I wonder how RL15 would compare.

Don't think it's enough gun for white tail.

That'll do. I've come to rank the E-Tip as one of my favourite bullets. It does deliver when it is launched at a decent velocity.

Ernie,
This is a Nosler M21 with a 24" 1:12 twist Shilin Match Grade barrel. The data sheet calls out 22" but mine is 24" which I prefer.

That is impressive expansion and weight retention. It's a tough bullet that it did not shear off a petal.
SHould work just fine...hard to imagine that you will not get a complete pass through to see the expansion and weight retention from a whitetail doe though as they aren't as thick through the body as 7 water jugs and hitting both shoulders may just ruin more meat.

Should be a terrific rifle & bullet for anything you might want to hunt.

I have yet to try any of the monos in my 375 but I'm down to 20 300gr. Partitions and a few Accubonds. Might have to give them a whirl.

No doubt. That's horsepower for sure. What is the minimal expansion velocity for the 260E tip?

Looks like a good load JD.
Does anyone else think that someone should come out with a 235 gr tipped mono bullet? Either Nosler or Barnes would do.

I'll check on Monday, we're pointed back home from the SanJuans. Pulled into a rest area for the night. Would have thought it easy to sail around in a beautiful boat with a beautiful woman for a week but too tired to drive the last four hours.

Same here, I need to try some monos for the .300 Win Mag for nilgai besides the AccuBond.

I've got some 248 gr .375 Hammers to try from my 375 H&H. I think that would be a pretty awesome elk bullet.
