Re: Sierra 200 gr 375 bullet at 2500 fps?

I have tried that bullet at 2900 fps from a 375 H&H - shot 3 deer with it. It's a great bullet to use if you wish to minimize the amount of edible meat on a deer.
: I used the Hornady 220gr. FN at a muzzle velocity of 1,940fps on 2 large Canadian moose. Judging from the expansion I found, I'd think if driven around 2,300fps to perhaps 2,400fps, it'd be an OK deer bullet in the H&H for deer, or in smaller .375 cal. cases. I would prefer the newer 225gr. SP instead, for a Deer. black bear bullet for extended ranges. The jacket on the 225gr. is quite thick and might not open up too much as I suspect the rimmed .375 Winchester-type bullets might.
: Swaged to .367", they'd also make good smaller big game bullets for the various 9.3's. I've found the 225's to be very accurate in my 9.3x57 at 2,550fps.
