I recently received some 250gr T-Rex .375 bullets I got off of GB. I bought them at a good price to fire form my 378 Wby brass when I get my rifle completed. They look like they might do some serious damage on game when they open up. With 3 long cuts to aid expansion , I might have try them out hunting.
Just curious if anyone here has tried them.

Never used them but they sure look like they would be pretty wicked on game.

I have never even heard of them. They look deadly.

You should be able to get 3200 fps plus with a healthy dose of RS Magnum or RL 26.
 
They have a big following on FB. from what I gather they are quite nasty on squishy stuff. I looked at them for my 12” Grendel because of the low minimum expansion velocity. Also the owner is always available. He talked to me on his cell while he was traveling on vacation.
 
Are they easy to get along with? (Accuracy) or are they ABLR's Scirocco's etc.
 
Just looked.......POOP! no 416 cal for my 416 Bee! I would love a 300 gr high BC at 3150 FPS.

I get that with my 300 TSX but no high BC there and unfortunately GS Custom are now defunct. They made a super sexy 330 GS HV!

Got this goat at 452 yards with one. They were designed to open up as low as 1200 fps!
Makes me laugh. In the picture is my son. Now he is 6'4" and practices corporate law in Denver Co!

I tried to order some but out of stock. I wonder what the BC is on their 200 grain tipped 8mm bullet. I could run that at 3200 fps from my 8m rem mag when it's ready in December!

Makers have a great rep among the specialty pistol/handgun guys. I have never used them though
 
That 250 gr at 3200 fps plus from my 378 Bee would be a crusher!

This is my load now.
