.375 Hornady 300 grains Round Nose Interlock

[Qc_BearHunter]

I have a few hundreds of them. They are superbly accurate in my BRNO ZKK 602 over 75.5 grains of IMR4350. Anyone tried them on game and what performance did you get?

Used for one moose, at exactly 300 long steps away. Muzzle velocity was 2500 fps. Perfect performance. Quick kill with a forward double lung shot, short death dash, bullet exited, good internal damage.

Works fine on normal plainsgame the bullet fragments depending on speed and distance the animal was hit at and it you recover the bullet mostly broken up but they kill.
So if you are not too concerend about wasting meat on thin skinned game go for it you have them and they will drop game.

I would avoid bad angling shots for larger game on moose and elk if you need to enter from rumen side and aim for vitals though.

I used them in the past, but the Interlock in this caliber is definitely not my favorite bullet.
For small and medium sized games, why not, but for bigger animals, I prefer a good bonded bullet.

I've shot a couple of deer with them DRT, & no bullet recovery exit from any angle.

Hands down the most accurate bullet in both of my 375’s. Good for plains game….buffalo not so much. Wish I still had hundreds of them!

I've been trying to get my hands on them for elk through my 375 weatherby but they seem to be discontinued...

A hunting acquaintance 30 years ago used them for elk- but performance was as noted by @Frederik and last I knew he had switched to sturdier bullets for big elk.

Speed of your Weatherby will let that bullet explode without sufficient penetration.
I would not recommend impact speed above 2300fps with this bullet on larger game like elk.

Depends on the distance...
