| Dang, ya'll load 'em hot for goats don't you? In my 416 Rigby I'm using the 235 Speer over 55gr. Accurate 5744 for a touch over 2000fps out of my RSM. In my 375 I'll be using a 300gr. Hornady RN IB over 50gr. Accurate 5744 for about 2200fps. Both recoil about like an '06 and will be plenty out to 200yds. which would about max out my shots on our farm. I'll do my best to bloody the both of 'em in a few weeks and get ya'll some pics up.

| don't use the old 260 grain green tipped ballistic tips. Those are too light for ANYTHING. |

| 375 caliber 350g Woodleigh Protected Point at 2350 fps. Good brown bear, and elk load, not bad I hear on cape buffalo either... Chuck

| I am sold on GSC mono hollow points. I load a 200 gr HV bullet (+/- 3400vps) and can assure you that it stops anything up to a Eland in it's tracks. Shot many bouwildebeeste as well, and as you kwow, they can be rather tough to bring down. No problem with the GSC mono's!! |
