ceg1963380 gr .375 RUM?
Hello,
Are there any 380 gr bullets available for the .375 R.U.M.?
If so, do you have some tried and true ballistics data?
I've tried 350 gr Woodleigh's... and in a word Awesome!!!!!!
I don't want any personal opinions or "character assaults".
I just want raw observed data pertaining to any potential bullets on the market.
I will research the load data if no one here has any.
Thanks in advance

DavidCceg,
The only manufacturer I am aware of that makes 380gr bullets for the .375 is the Rhino bullet Co. in South Africa.
They have quite a range of weights for the .375 starting at 235gr thru 380gr. From what I can see these bullets
look alot like a TBBC....to me anyway. I have no ballistic data as I have never tried them but, perhaps the manufacturer
could supply you with some info to work from...?
Rhino BulletsHope this help.

375/380gr.Hi,
I make the .375/380gr. RHINO bullets The bullet was mainly designed for Buffalo but has proved itself on Zebra – Blue Wildebeest – Eland – Leopard. I believe it will be devastating on Bear and Moose. The bullet has been used up to 160 meters at a velocity of 2200ft/sec in a standard .375 H & H
I suggest you should get hold of a box from Bill Isenbarger if he has any stock left and try them yourself and then decided how good they are. Bill is in Houston.

ceg1963Thanks 375/380,
Does the Rhino 380 gr come in anything like the Protected Point Woodleigh? Or is the Rhino a solid Full metal Jacket, Round nose?
I'd like at least 50% expansion going in real deep.

375/380gr.Hi Charles,
The .375/380gr. is a round nose with bonded lead core and expands the same as other soft nose bullets.
