Have any of you tried the 260gr Nosler Partition bullets in your 375 H&Hs yet? I'm thinking this would be a nice load for general critter disposal . . . I was considering the 235gr TSX, but I have found that the 300gr TSX foul the barrel of my CZ more than I care for. Any shared experiences will be greatly appreciated. -eric " . . . a gun is better worn and with bloom off---So is a saddle---People too by God." -EH | ||

I like the Partitions in my .375 H&H. I also like the 260 Accubonds. Very accurate. No game yet, but several others have had great success with the Accubonds. Rusty We Band of Brothers!

I tried the 260 NPs without a lot of success. I did not spend a lot of time on load development because I found a very good load with the 300NPs without a lot of trouble. YMMV. Peter.

I love the 260 grain Partition in my M70 with 76 grains of IMR4350 they will do right at 2700 fps and shoot under an inch easily.

Frank, great groups! I will have to see whether I tried that combination or not. Peter. Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong; | |||

I have seen elk and bison shot with 260 Accubonds and they are amazing. Phenominal performance in both accuracy and terminal effect. Blake Blake | |||

We had three fellows in our camp last year, all shooting 260 NP. I quized them every night about their shots, and recovered a few bullets, and overall was not impressed. Too much expansion, and too little penetration. Remember, forgivness is easier to get than permission. | |||

I use the same load as Fjold with the same reults. It should make a great African cat load as well as for plains game. 465H&H | |||

I used the 260 grain NP last year in Namibia in my RSM 375 H & H in a custom Nosler load. They were very accurate in my rifle and very effective especially on a large eland not to mention smaller game. | |||

I agree as butchloc mentioned, "a good leopard load" but good for thin skinned critters especially the 260g accubonds. In my 375 H&H Win. M70 they shoot well using R-15 powder start at 69-71 grains. "An individual with experience is never at the mercies of an individual with an argument" | |||

Thanks men! Good info. Fjold, we're going to have to meet up at 5-dogs soon. -eric " . . . a gun is better worn and with bloom off---So is a saddle---People too by God." -EH | |||

As I'm looking for a 2009 elk hunt, have any of you tried this combo (375H&H + 260gr N.P) for elk? Seems that it should do the job well, and perhaps flatten out the trajectory a bit. thanks -eric " . . . a gun is better worn and with bloom off---So is a saddle---People too by God." -EH | |||

This is a group shot with my custom Mdl 70 classic stainless. It likes the 260gr Nosler. It is 20 rounds fired with no cooldown just the time it took to reload. It's a David Miller laminated stock and holds 3 rounds. Leupold VariX III 1.5-5. Group measures .700.  SCI Life Member NRA Patron Life Member DRSS | |||

Okay, I broke down and ordered a box of these. My Hornady brass just arrived today, so I hope to have a few loaded up very soon. I'm thinking I might need to plan a hog hunt soon to see how these fly in the field . . . -eric " . . . a gun is better worn and with bloom off---So is a saddle---People too by God." -EH | |||

I would like to add to my previous post! Based on recommendations above, I loaded up some 260 NPs using 75, 76 and 77 grains of IMR 4350. All three shot groups were under 1 1/2 inches out of my Blaser R93, with the 76 grain load being right under 1 inch. Load development should be this easy! I don't know whether it is my imagination, but the recoil seemed noticeably less than the 300 grain bullet. Peter. Be without fear in the face of your enemies.

My best friend and hunting partner had two come apart on the shoulders of a large eland a few years back. The first bullet shattered the humerus - and itself - without proceeding even as far as the ribs. The eland swapped ends and my buddy shot him again in precisely the same place on the opposite shoulder with precisely the same results. Fortunately an eland doesn't move well on two legs and the situation was resolved with a finisher. Since then we call the 260 grain .375 Partition his varmint bullet. | |||

2 Kuda, 2 Zebra, 2 Impala, 1 blue Wildebeast, and 1 Bushbuck. Recovered 1 bullet. 260 NPT. 1/2 in groups out of my MarkX, 2700fps. I was very satisfied with the preformance. This year with Buffalo on the menu I,m taking 270 gr. tsx at 2800fps not quite as accurate but plenty good. | |||

I managed to get to the range today to see how these Nosler loads work in my CZ550, and I have to say that I'm impressed so far. I started with 67.5gr of Rel 15, with CCI 250 primers and Hornady brass. Case OAL is right at 3.568. At 69.0gr of Rel 15, I got my best group:   Sorry for the blurry pictures. I'm guessing (didn't have a chrono today) that I'm getting about 2650fps with 69gr of Rel 15. Thanks to everyone who responded to my original post. -eric " . . . a gun is better worn and with bloom off---So is a saddle---People too by God." -EH | |||

Teat Hound, Nice shooting....looks like you found your load! The 260 NP has worked well for me on elk.... 5 shots and 5 dead elk  DRSS & Bolt Action Trash | |||

  I really like Accubonds. This is a 260 from a 375 H&H. Broke one shoulder and a couple of ribs and ended under the skin on the other side. Shot from above and from a forward angle. | |||

Hey 900, How far away was that critter when you shot it? -eric " . . . a gun is better worn and with bloom off---So is a saddle---People too by God." -EH | |||

It was about 150 meters. I was a bit surprised to recover a bullet from the 375 in a moose, but it was quite big (270 kilos gutted without skin, head and legs) and the bullet made a lot of damage to hard stuff going diagonally through the moose. I dont know what muzzle velocity I had but it wasnt very fast and the SD isnt very high on a 260 bullet. Its a fantastic moose-load anyway. | |||

I used them on one extended plainsgame hunt and shot a lot of plainsgame with them and they worked OK on plainsgame, but I still prefer the 300 and 350 gr. bullets in my .375 for anything.. If I want a lighter bullet then I like the 210 gr. Nosler. in my .338, its and outstanding bullet for everything that I have shot with it.. All this said, I seriously doubt that any 260 gr. bullet manufactured today will fail you on plainsgame in the .375 H&H.....
