GSC 270gn FN or 300gn FN in .375 H&H?
Between GSC 270 gn FN or 300 gn FN in the .375 H&H,
which is better or preferred for Buff and Elephant?

Will the 300 gn FN fit in a .375 H&H without taking up to much powder space or have to long of a COL since it is a mono metal bullet?

It's a Mauser thing, you wouldn't understand.

Just a suggestion..try the big bore forum. Might get a quicker answer there.

I believe GSC recommends the 270-grain for the H&H, but you should check on their website.

The 270gr is for the H&H i use them and the 265gr HV with great results. the 270gr is the right lenght for the twist of the H&H

I use the 300gr GSC FN in my pre'64.
Shoots tight and to the same point of impact as the Barnes 300gr XXX I load at 100m, running 2440fps

start at 68gr and work up to 72gr S355.
I get good case fill and excellent burn, and very uniform velocities.
