for heavier game like elk,moose, or African antelopes ?
Precision, distances, effect,exit hole.
Thank you for the answer.

This is my favorit bullet in a 9,5x57 Mannlicher-Schoenauer, aka. .375 Rimless NE.

Smooth repeating, accurate, works fine from reh to moose in europe without untolerable meet damage.

Not always an exit hole on pigs, but good shot placement makes a bloot trail like you have hit the fire hydrant.

Foxi, I’d like to hear about this as well. I currently use 250 Barnes TTSX, but would consider using the Sierra 250 on lighter game.
 
The Sierra 250 gr .375 is my choice for the H&H for using the 375 for elk. I like the Bitterroot Bonded Core for heavy construction but find for actual performance at H&H velocities the Sierra gives great results. A aide benefit is that I find they shoot to the same POI as the 250 gr BBCs. So I can use them for practice as well as soft skinned game. I don't have any pictures of expanded ones, but I keep trying to find them, but it takes a pretty thick animal to stop one on a broadside shot, which I the only ones I take anymore.

I would be interested in it if you pass. Please send me the info on the gun shop if you do not buy it. I have the needed ammo and brass.
Thanks,
