Hi 9ThreeFifty7, I don't expect it to kill any better on deer or elk or even as well as my 270. However it's now my son Eric's 270 and Dad's pride doesn't allow him to ask his son if he can borrow his rifle lol. Also I want to get proficient with the 375 and the best way in my opinion is to shoot it and hunt with it as my only rifle. I'm thinking the 250g Swifts at 2700 fps are a better choice for deer, elk and the black bears of the region.

Regards as always,

Chuck

Gotcha! PLEASE report your results!

I have no experience with it but the 250 sounds like an excellent bullet for all-round Lower 48 hunting with the .375.

I think a really handy combination would be to get a 200-225 light bullet at 2300-2500 fps to print dead on at 100, and a 250 at full throttle velocities to print a couple inches or so higher. A 220 at 2400 fps is a very easy shooting round and plenty deadly for whitetails while the fullspeed 250 would be good for anything we have to offer.

Now you got me curious as to the .375 again...
