theres a new 380 grain 375 H&H available in SA now. I've ordered a box and will report on its shootability. Also,I've had great results on eland with the Sierra Game King in 300gr. | ||

Berger, Let me know what load you decide on - is S335 not going to be a bit quick for this bullet? You could duplex S365 and S335 and come out with a IMR4064 equivalent. Cheers pete ------------------ | |||

Berger, Your broadside shot should leave you with a calibre-sized entrance hole, and a slightly larger exit hole. Have you started with your load development yet? I'd be interested to hear what velocities you are getting with what loads. Rikkie | |||

Berger, What magnum issue are we talking about? My mags are all over the house (no binder yet) I thought S341 would be too close to S335 for any benefit. And the muzzle flash would be incredible. Cheers pete ------------------ | |||

Its the latest issue of Magnum. I just picked mine up out of CNA. I've ordered 50 bullets. I talked to the fellow on the phone and he says he's "polishing" 1000 bullets now. I thought I would try 63 grains of S335 to start (if it will fit without too much powder compression) and see what it chronographs. I want to achieve a spot on 2150 as this, in my opinion, would bring the 375 within spitting performance distance of the 404 Jeffrey. | ||

Hi Berger, OK I just picked up my copy too just today. Looks like I made a good guess with the S335/S365 duplexing. I understand Mauritz is keen on the practice. I just wish Somchem would get off their duff and give us a 4064 equivalent. Sounds like a great bullet, but I am a little nervous of the recoil. Let us know how you do on the eland. I just got a great deal on Barnes 300gr X bullets. Looks like PMP got too many and sold these off as surplus. Got 50 for R252 - they are packed in cardboard boxes. Cheers Pete | |||

I just picked up the same boxes of Barnes x from Champs here in Bedfordview for R255. I am told that the next price hit will be in R650 range!!! | ||
