375 Rum Moose load!!!!

[375ultramag]

So I know this is probably gonna turn into a chevy vs. ford or john deere vs new holland tread but I hope not. I'm looking for advice. I want to build a load for my 375 Rum to take to the yukon next September for moose and grizzly. I want to maintain the factory magazine for better feeding and easier backup shots. I also plan to be ready for 600-700 yards if i need to. I have been beating a dead horse over what bullets I should load. I've honestly never cared about exits. I want to maximize knockdown but at the same time don't want the bullet to blow up on the shoulder. I shot a moose with the 375 Rum 270 lrx but it was a neck shot so didn't get a chance to really test it. Bullets I'm considering:

Barnes 250 TTSX
Barnes 270 LRX
Nosler 260 Accubond
Maker 250 T-Rex
Cutting Edge 250 Maximus

I'd consider others as well. What's your thoughts? Thanks

It really doesnt matter. You can take literally any rifle and any expanding bullet and short of a cns hit youre going to put 2 or 3 of them in the moose. It'll slowly bleed, loose blood pressure and tip over.

Everything from a 223 to a 50bmg in anything expanding is valid.

Barnes 270 LRX. OR 260 Accubond.
Out of the one's you mentioned.
Wish you the Best on your Hunt.

My experience in both 375H&H and 375 Weatherby, is that the Barnes are very hard, work quite well within about 150 yards, but expansion reduces the further you go. They still get the job done.
The Accubond is a fantastic bullet for it's weight, it expands well even at 400, which surprised me no end. We took several Water Buff with them, the one's pictured were from different angles and distances but all within 100 yards. The bent and funny looking one was fired into the hip to stop him spinning around, it entered and immediately was in the ball of the femur, where it stopped breaking everything.
Anyway, here's the recovered 260g Accubonds.

Cheers.

Barnes 270 grain LRX……you should easily get to 3100+ mv. I get good accuracy with my AI @ 3020 mv. You should easily surpass that mv!

Good Luck with what should be a great cartridge! memtb

I shoot a 378 Weatherby. My favorite bullet in that rifle is the Barns 250 TTSX. Never killed a grizzly or a moose, but I have never had to look for a deer sized animal that I shot with that combo. Always DRT.
