Sure thing. I haven't weighed them yet, or measure the expansion. I can tell you that my PH was very impressed.

Peregrine bullets are top notch. I would rank them a close second to the South African Rhino bullets.

I did consider the Rhino line of bullets Largely because of the 380gr 375cal, I tend to like big heavy bullets for whatever reason. I chose the Peregrines for a specific set of reasons that I'll detail when I post about them on the "Bullet Performance Database" discussion.

BTW, I enjoyed reading your book on your experiences with the Bangladesh man-eating tigers. Attempting such a feat using a single shot breakopen shotgun with a faulty extractor takes a massive set of Cajónes’. My hat's off to you sir.

Why, thank you so much. I purely did it out of compulsion. It was either do that or lose my job. And I was young & stupid. And got very lucky, Rafiki.

Hi All, good afternoon.

It has been a good six months since we have posted on this thread.

So interestingly we were watching YOUTUBE a couple of weeks ago and this showed up.

We have nothing to do with this Outfitter or customer, but there were two interesting items, the use of the Leupold Scope, which I have posted on that thread and use of Peregrine VRG-3 bullets. The PH said he needs something reliable regarding his scope choices. I didn't hear specific about the Peregrine but I would assume homeloads, I'm sure it's the 300g VRG-3, we used the 270g weight. Obviously towards the end of the presentation you will see what the Peregrine will do! We have used Peregrine's on DG and PG and would wholeheartedly recommend them, certainly to try.!
Enjoy
