[QUOTE="Blacktailer, post: 2196402, member: 111306"] Triple shocks have failed where tip deformation has occurred, renders them somewhat a tipped FMJ, partitions aren't bonded. Again, I don't know that you're likely to see a failure out of these, but I just decided why risk it myself, if you have to go lead free, then the decision is really made for you. If I were taking a 375 to Africa for cape buffalo and up, a solid would be in the mix, sub that and a bonded lead expanding bullet, especially given the options of today, heavy for caliber, should have no issues giving the penetration needed while also expanding. I take exception to the above re Barnes not opening. There has been some anecdotes on this happening but on smaller diameters <30cal. Also most PH's today say there is no reason to shoot solids in a 375 except for elephant. A premium expanding bullet works much better for buff IME. [/QUOTE]
