But I also have used a .300 Savage, .30 Herrett pistol, a .44mag. pistol. an arrow, etc.
elk are not super animals unless they are chased.

Okay... what about elk, mule deer, and black bear? I'll be working up loads for my .375 H&H Magnum in a month or so, and will include this bullet if the consensus is that it could handle ALL three... say, out to 200 yards, with less-than-perfect target presentations.

Sinner, saved by God's unfailing grace!

Since I'd wager that the 300 gr. Partition likely has a slightly better ballistic profile than the 300 gr. Trophy Bonded, it should work even better at the longer ranges.

With the greater velocity of the .375 H&H, these may do better since they would upset back into the thicker jacket material. I do not know. I would just be cautious until further reports of this bullet on game filter in. I will say theu are wonderfully accurate in my gun, but that wasn't needed for a 40 yard shot on a musk ox.

To date, I now have 250- and 300-grain Sierra Game Kings, 260-grain Partitions, Barnes 300-grain solids (you just never know when a solid will come in handy... I've got tons of them for my .416 Remington Magnum) and 285-grain NON-Grand Slam Speers. With the above order, I'd say I'm BOUND to find SOMETHING that my rifle will just love. I'm going to take things easy and use IMR/AA/Hodgdon 4350. Three powders and all those bullets... something's bound to stand out.

Another bullet to try is the 270 gr. Speer boattail -- it gives excellent accuracy in my rifle. And I highly recommend H4350 powder. It's slower-burning than IMR 4350, and you can use very heavy loads of it safely. Using Hodgdon's recommended max loads of it, I get velocities that are 100 to 150 f.p.s. greater than the usually published max velocities for the .375 H&H, using a Remington 700 with a 24 inch barrel.
