[QUOTE="Roy Sparks, post: 958537, member: 81099"] I use 250 gr SGK in my 375 H&H. It is accurate at 100 meter's through a 21 " barrell - under 1" 5 shot group at about 2900 FPS. Comfortable on the shoulder from the bench. I have killed 5 Cape Eland bulls with 5 consecutive shots - broadside shoulder shots , raking forward from rib cage into chest from 150 meters out to 300 meters. I have made ranged shots on mountain zebra beyond 300 meters in Namibia with good penetration. I was looking for a load suited to my rifle that I could use as backup on leopard as well as capable of long range accuracy to cull with or shoot bait for leopard. This bullet I tested in the field and found it more than adequate in accuracy , killing / penetration , and very capable on long range shots. I would recommend it on all soft skinned African Game. There is a remarkable reduction of recoil for those who dont like it. I am very pleased with this bullets performance and will continue to use it with confidence. For Cape Buffalo I would prefer to use Swift A Frame 300 grainers as a soft point choice. [/QUOTE]
