375H&H for Varminting
I have a friend who has taken to making projectiles here in Australia

He has designed a 190g JHP for the .375 and it is devistating, very explosive

Now I know we have a lot of clips of projectile penetration on water drums and jugs, but this here is the opposite

Here's a clip of him shooting water drums with the 190g hollow points from his 375h&h, notice the projectile only breaks one drum at a time but heaps of expansion, the white drum disintgrates

These would make great projectiles on light thin skinned game

Any details on the bullet and the speed?

Immpressive!! I wonder how the HV bullets from GSC will work seeing how they are moving around 3400 fps when maxed out----thats approximately the speed of my "slow" 22-250 loads.

holycowImpressive balls on the cameraman! Didn't look like telephoto, he was standing pretty close, beside the exploding water containers, eh?

Let me guess his name: shootaway, and he was wearing his magic snowmobile-shooting-videography helmet?

S&F,
Can't see the vid but I take it its the Bullet Factory's 190gr pills being shown?

I've used these in my 375/08 into wet phonebooks at 2400fps and they act like a conventional softpoint expanding nice and wide and the jackets and cores will start to seperate.

Pushed into water jugs at 2400fps ... they come apart. Pretty standard performance for a soft cored jacketed pill.

I'd certainly use them to make paddock pizza if I had a 375H&H ... Mr Fox wouldnt stand a chance!
Cheers...
