[QUOTE="warboar21, post: 2560514, member: 88146"] I shot a wild Bull (Bovine) with a 300gr Sierra game king from my 375 Ruger African. 150yd quartering away shot hit him through the lungs and into the offside shoulder. I was expecting him to drop at the shot because the load had over 5000 ftlbs like your load had. I had to put a finisher in the spine as he was hobbling away so he wouldn't drop down a large hill. I recovered the bullet from the offside shoulder and it had retained 80% of it's weight. When I spoke with the guys from Sierra they told my I should be loading the 250gr bullet for the 375 Ruger because the 300gr was designed for the 378 Weatherby. I know several people who swear by the 250gr Barnes TTSX for Elk and Moose and the 270gr for everything larger. [/QUOTE]
