[QUOTE="Guy M, post: 1746728, member: 8622"] I don't know if Scotty has hunted with his 375 yet. I've shot three black bear with mine, a 375 H&H Ruger Number One. Handload is the 260 grain Nosler Accubond with 69 grains of RL-15, for about 2650 fps. Accuracy has been excellent. Bullet performance very good. Farthest was a one-shot kill on a bear at 306 yards. Pass through, dead bear. He did drag himself less than twenty feet. Closest was a black bear wounded by another hunter. I followed it into the brush, found it and shot it at about 15' to kill it. Recovered that bullet while skinning the bear, it was hanging in the off-side skin: [img]https://i.imgur.com/4Ms9Mh5h.jpg[/img] Recovered weight was 218 grains and the expanded diameter was .73" - I remain impressed by the 260 gr Nosler Accubond. A 375 certainly isn't needed for bear hunting, but I thought the bear hunts were a good excuse to use it. :) My son hunts them with his 30-06, and I've also used my 30-06, which seemed to do a very good job as well.
