[QUOTE="Kennibear, post: 886403, member: 51650"] 338 bruce I believe you as they were designed for the 375 H&H - Ruger class cartridge. But if we're talking >600yds the velocity will have bled off below 2800fps. According to Honady's ballistic calculator if you assume a muzzle velocity of 3000fps then at 425yds the velocity drops to 2200fps. @ 900yds the velocity is 1500fps. Up close they might not do well but up close you could slip something else into the chamber as you're going to have time. But if we are taking LR shots then the parameter is low velocity. However, your advice is duly noted. Not good up close. Filed and noted! If I get 2800fps with this bullet from my 375 Ruger I will be doing my happy dance!!! [/QUOTE]
