jetdrvrI've fired around 800 of them through my Model 70 .375 H&H at the range. They are quite accurate from my rifle. I've never hunted them. My information is that they have been discontinued in the States. At 2550 fps, they leave a lot of copper fouling. Don't know how they will perform in the faster Weatherby.
Hi CC
For a .378 Weatherby I would suggest that you use the 300-grain Swift A-Frame and NOTHING else!
The Interbonds are fine at .375 velocities but I get full expansion at s 450 fps muzzle velocity, so at a guess I suspect you will be dissappointed if you load them in the .378.
Just my humble opinion.

AtkinsonThe hornadys are a little soft..I would opt for the Noslers or a good monolithic such as the GS Customs or BarnesX in the Weatherby...That extra velocity is the enemy of bullets because most of the bullets are designed for the 375 H&H..

458RugerNo1How do the new .375 Hornady DGS and DGX compare? I've seen a cutaway of the solid and it sure looks like a sturdy design and they're back to copperclad steel too.
Anyone used them - any comments on these newest from Hornady? Thanks for any input.
PS: Anyone have a cutaway pic of the DGX in particular or know how its designed?
