Have not been able to find Bear Claws so considering the switch to the SAF's | ||

My suggestion is try a hollow point copper bullet. Like from Barnes, GS Custom, North Fork etc. | |||

I switched to Barnes and now back again to AFrames...the copper bullets had a tendency to tumble. Bob DRSS DSC SCI NRA & ISRA | |||

Slight correction, North Fork bullets would not be in this list.....unless their Cup Point Solid would be seen as a hollow point. | |||

peashooter: Are they not now referred to as the Trophy Bonded Tip bullet instead of the Bear Claw? I know that in the other calibers they underwent a change and that is what they are now referred to. | |||

UEG. thanks I will hat out. The Bear claws have been on backorder from Cabela's for over two months. | |||

I have used both. They both work about as well. While I prefer the Barnes TSX, if it doesn't shoot in your rifle, either one is just fine, actually. | |||

I have used both in a .375 on buff and they both worked very well. Great expansion while holding their weight. Dutch | |||

My .375 shoots both Barnes TSX and banded solids to the same POA with the same charge of R-15 and groups both less than an inch at 100. Have shot buffalo and many PG species with it and never wanted anything else. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

try CEBs they shoot 1 MOA in my ruger .375 H and H and put a big hole in what they hit. Kodiak 2022 Namibia 2019 Namibia 2018 South Africa 2017 Alaska Brown Bear 2016 South Africa, 2016 Zimbabwe 2014 South Africa 2013 Australia 2011 Alberta 2009 Namibia 2007 Alberta 2006 | |||

These are far better than anything I have ever used on DG. Both accuracy and down range results. | |||

Typical AR lol. The OP asks opinion of A-Frames vs Bear Claws and he gets a list of other options ...  Regards, Chuck "There's a saying in prize fighting, everyone's got a plan until they get hit" Michael Douglas "The Ghost And The Darkness" | |||

That's what makes AR such a good place to learn and why I like it so much. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

Both Barnes TSX and Swift A Frame have been excellent. If you shoot well have total confidence the bullets will complement your effort. | |||

I have purchased loaded 375 H&H ammo seated with TBBCs and pulled the bullets for reloading - a bit expensive, but you don't need very many. For me, the TBBCs are superior, but not much. | |||

Swift A Frames are fine bullets and have worked very well for me on a number of buffalo... can't think of a better choice personally.
