375 H&H Mag 260 gr E-Tip

[RL338]

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.

 

[salmonchaser]

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

 

[DrMike]

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.

What length is the barrel?

What length is the barrel?

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.

 

[Blkram]

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.

 

[Guy Miner]

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

My goodness...

I’m think marginal at best

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.

 

[FOTIS]

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

Don,
SPS has the 375 260 E Tips in stock.

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.

Fotis,

Nosler RG #9 says minimum velocity for expansion is 1800 fps.

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

Monolithic bullets are capturing the big game hunters of the world... For some good reasons.

Hammer bullets has 6 different .375 bullet weights between 137gr and 248gr.

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.
