Re: Help me pick a bear bullet (.375)

Might as well put my .02 worth in. I've used the Speer 235gr in my .375 H&H on deer and elk (gotta have some fun sometime). It opens quite fast so I stopped using it on elk. Talked to one of the Speer engineers and he told me the bullet had been designed only for deer.
The Barnes X in 235gr is excellent for what you are contemplating. I've used it and the 210gr Barnes on elk and they hit the ground hard. Never have been able to recover a bullet...complete penetration.
Have also used the Hornady 270gr on bear and elk. It opens up appropriately and also has good penetration.
Hawk bullets used to be made up in a Denver suburb. I'd go up there and buy them with the .035 jacket for .375. They're good with the thick jacket. With the thinner jacket, they equal the Speers.
Noslers...well, everything that can be said has been said.
Good luck with your .375
