I've heard some curiosity stimulating tales about them. Seyfried seems to be high on them as well. Maybe Barnes got their idea for the Triple Shock from them?

I swear by them, very accurate and they work, plain and simple. The 240gr 338 bullets he has pictured on his website, were from my moose last fall. Same gun and same load, are headed to Colorado with me in two weeks.

An upcoming Elk hunting trip to Colorado will include hunters in my group using the following North Fork bullets. My .358 STA with a 270 grain bulllet at 2850 fps. My son shooting a .358 STA loaded with 270 gr bullet at 2950 fps. My grandson with a .338 Lapua and a 225 grain bullet at 3200 fps. A buddy with a 7mm Wby and a 160 grain bullet at 3000 fps. Another buddy with a 300 Ultra Mag and a 200 grain bullet at 3000 fps. Another buddy with a 7mm Ultra Mag and a 160 grain bullet at 3260 fps. A buddy using my .340 Wby and a 225 grain bullet at 3100 fps. ---- You might say I like North Fork bullets. [Wink] Good shooting.

Ol Bull,
His name is Mike Brady and he does make the best expanding bullet made.
He has a photo of my .338" 225 gr bullet from last septembers alaskan moose on his web site.

Al ----- My group is 14 this year including two junior hunters, sorry but we are full for years to come. We hunt between Meeker and Craig, hunting the White River Herd, which has more Elk than most states. We take mostly rag horns, but we do quite well on them. We will take a large 6 X 6 once in a while, sighting a huge 7 X 7 rarely, but enough to keep our hopes up. Last year out of 15 hunters, four passed up legal Bulls, the eleven remaining hunters took seventeen Elk, of which nine were Bulls and eight were Cows. We pass through Glenwood Springs either going or coming back, good luck to you this year. [Wink] Good shooting.

Good luck to you too. Sounds like we hunt pretty much the same way.

I've been hunting with the same bunch of 5 guys since 1990, and one of them has been going since 1975. I've missed a couple of years, mostly due to moose hunting in Newfoundland.

We try and bring along a newbie every year, works great for cutting wood and lugging water. lol

Take care and aim straight.

I shot a ton of African game last year including a number of Cape Buffalo with the 416 Rem and 385 gr. Northfork bullets, all came to rest on the of side the size of a quarter perfectly mushroomed and some were spine shots on Buff and Eland, not that is unusual to get a good mushroom off those big animals with spine shots as they normally teal any bullet up pretty bad...I have also used the 375 and Northforks a good deal with the same results...

Northforks are the very best bullets available today and they are also the most accurate bullets that I have shot in bigger calibers.

Does anyone here know the BC for the 270 gr. .375 bullet? I've tried calling and never could get anyone to answer the phone, let alone the question.

WY ----- Click on www.northformbullets.com and read what Mike Brady has to say about BC. You may also check the "North Fork Bullets" thread on the reloading section of AR for a recent discussion on the subject. [Wink] Good shooting.
