Accuracy with 235 grn. bullets My Encore really likes the 235 grn. Barnes bullets with 80 grns. of RL 15. Using a leadsled with 2 bags of shot groups run about 3/4" at 100 yds. for 3 shots. My old Mark X seems to prefer the 235 grn. Speer bullets with 67 grns of 3031. Accuracy is about 1" to...

I have used 2 different 235 grain bullets in the 375 H&H. 235 grn Speer and 235 grn Barnes. The Speer bullet is designed for lighter game typically deer. I have used it on whitetail deer with excellent results. The Barnes bullet is typical of what they build. This is a tough bullet that...

Thanks for the info. I like the website. The 225 grn. reduced load for the 375 is spot on for one of my favorite deer loads for the 375.

Enjoy African hunting and shooting very much. Also like working with some of the classic calibers used for dangerous game hunting : 375, 416, 458.
