Barnes vs GS Custom

With the 200 gr hv zeroed at 200 metres I found them shooting 1.5 inches high at 100m. Flatter than the other ammo I use but the hv's are also lighter and faster. Not a significant difference to hunting.
 
Today is my last day to take a deer with the 375 Ruger if a shot doesn't present its self I will be left to fill my tags with my .54 flintlock starting December 26 I do wish to get one 375 200 HV to see how bullets preform on deer I'm a little concerned that it might not expand on soft skinned game.
My dad is trying 22-250 today so I hope to have a third deer to study wounds.
 
Good luck today! We've shot springbuck with them and the results were good. Not a lot of expansion on smaller game but the hydrostatic shock is enough.

I didn't see your request re: ship co’s. My last shipment was 2023. Quotes from SBS Logistics ($1,198), Badger Cargo ($1,184 - used them) & AHG Trophy Shippers ($1,746). AHG owner's an asshole so wouldn't have used him anyway. Eastern Cape - Houston, TX, so your mileage may vary. NEVER use Karl Human Taxidermy aka Wild Africa Taxidermy on Eastern Cape. Trophies arrived shattered with no padding/packing material.
