Speer 270gr 375

Hi Papabear,

I have used the 270 gr Hornady Spire Point since 1993 as my primary bullet for big Red Deer and Wild boar, A LOT!!, and tried in expansion medium the 270 Speer BT. They behave almost identical. So, I would use the Speer with total confidence!! More, would be one of the best for your intended use!
Good luck!

It’s a very good bullet for your intended use. I wouldn’t use it on big bear or buffalo.
 
I used Winchester 270 grain Power Points in .375 H&H factory load years ago on a bull elk. It worked just fine. I can't imagine your load won't work fine as well.
 
I have used the Double Tap 270 TSX load on elk, lion, springbuck, Oryx to name a few and it worked great. At ranges to 450 yards
It is now my general go to 375 H&H factory load. Reasonable in price for a factory load.
 
I've used nothing else in my .375. Everything I hit with it--big and small--falls. I would not hesitate using it on any game my PH recommends--he would know best.

Here it is recovered from eland (200 yard shot).

All three 375s keep the Speer 270s under an inch at 100yd, often cloverleafed. The 270gr Speers do a pretty spectacular job on prairie dogs out to 180yds as does the 300gr Oryx :D. Haven't had a chance yet to test drive on anything bigger, but I've used Speer bullets in other calibers and had great performance and expect the same results with the 375.

Living life like a lion for 1 day is better than living life like a jackal for 100 years.
