Maker Bullets

[RL338]

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.

Never used them, but as Jim intimated, they do look wicked. Perhaps just letting game know what you are using could cause a surrender?

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

 

[FOTIS]

That 250 gr at 3200 fps plus, from my 378 Bee would be a crusher!

This is my load now. 270 LRX at 3185. Thinking the 250 should launch at 3250-3300 fps.

I agree Fotis of the lack of high BC .416 hunting bullets. Cutting Edge does have a 340gr single feed option or you’re looking at target bullets. I do like the Hornady 500gr A-tip in my 416 Wby. It’s still sable to 600yds. The buck in my avatar was shot with one.

Thinking the 250 should launch at 3250-3300 fps.

With a 32” barrel I’m thinking a little past that

They also have a 325 Maximus BUT they wont release the BC #'s

.416 325gr Rifle Maximus - 50ct

.416 325gr solid copper, lead-free hunting bullet. This truly unique line of bullets combines high BC and massive terminal performance for ultimate take-down power. After 4-6” of penetration, 4-8 blades break off and create one large, massive wound channel.

As far as your barrel length you are the ONLY one that has a 378 Bee with a full choke!
