[QUOTE="bounty hunter 2, post: 1489709, member: 90711"] When I retired as an Alaskan timber faller 20 years ago I became a bullet man so now my livelihood is making bullets. I have about 300 cast bullet designs available and keep adding. I also make jacketed bullets but only in 22, 24, and 30 caliber. The 375 Whelen is a superb cast bullet cartridge giving up nothing in velocity to jacketed bullets when heavy bullets are used. I have designed a 375 caliber 375gn bullet that works extremely well in not only my 375 Whelen rifles but has also proven dependably accurate in the 375 H&H, 375 Weatherby, and 375 Ruger at velocities slightly over 2400 fps. In my 375 Whelen with 27" barrel I get just a few fps under 2300 and it has proven itself on Alaskan big game. I shot one large caribou bull with this load at a range of about 75 yards. I was shooting iron sights and the light was fading so I aimed at the shoulder on a broad side shot. It was in November and about -30F so bulls had begun to shed antlers. The solid shoulder hit of the 375/375 wide meplate bullet caused both antlers to be thrown off the bull. The exit hole on the off side shoulder was fist size. That is typical terminal performance of a heavy non expanding wide flat nose bullet at a high enough impact velocity to cause hydraulic splash effect. [/QUOTE]
