What are your opinions/experience of this load on kudu/waterbuck/gemsbok. I like the load as it regulates in my 375H&H scoped double and shoots to the same POI as my 300gn/2580fps load.

Thanks in advance.

We were hunting in SA last March with Tc Encore pistols, my friend was shooting a TC 378 GNR (405 Win necked down to 375) with 250gr Sierra at 2500 fps he shot a Black Wildebeest on the point of the shoulder and the bullet shed its jacket,The shot was only 60 yds right on the shoulder and the jacket was found on the off shoulder.I was right there for the shot and bullet recovery..

My .375 WeM load with IMR 4064 @ 2680 fps [shot most accurately with 74 grains / GM215M's ] is 3" higher than 300-grainer load(s) at 100 yds.

Would love to know the performance on game you requested, but I discovered the load post-trip.

Somehow I suspect I'd wish for a BearClaw / Swift / etc. that was as accurate. It was a shock to me as the 300-grain SIERRA's positively stink in my Brno. Who knew?

Good hunting, mike!
