hi any comments about this loading ? good or bad ? what would you shoot or not shoot with this load? regards yes Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. | ||

Good, i have used it personally and by choice would only avoid frontal chest shots/going away shots on buffalo and obviously Elephant and Rhino.Otherwise there is no other (realistic)shot on any other African Game that i would not use this for. I believe that it has been discontinued, which if true in my opinion is a pity and i will be sparing with the 60 odd rounds i have left | |||

I've used that very load and its 300gr big brother. I love them both and am hoarding them as Winchester has discontinued their manufacture. Like scott450, going away shots may be iffy with the 270gr.

I agree with Scott450 except that I would add Eland to that. A frontal shot on Eland is never a good choice with any bullet.

I used the 270 grain Failsafe factory loads on a trip to Namibia and while they were very accurate, the bullets either failed to expand or came apart. I'd use them for practice only. | |||

Since you live in Sweeden, wouldn't the Woodleighs be easier to obtain..The 350 gr. Woodleigh is hard to beat int he .375...Failsafes have had a lot of smoke blown, and where there is that much smoke there is usually fire...The Barnes X 270 gr. has a good rep on big tough stuff..and I would bet the GS Cusoms HP out of RSA is the better of the two.

FWIW - used them on 2 impala and one wildebeest at ranges up to 230yds and they behaved impeccably, accurate too out of my Mod 70 stainless. Charlie. | |||
