I have somehow become fixated on handloading Peregrine bullets for my next trip to Africa, I really can't explain why because I simply do not know. Peregrines are not readily available in the US but I have managed to get a few in .375 and .511 (they were supposed to be .510). As yet I've only shot a few of the .511's and in my limited testing they appear to be quite accurate in my rifle despite being slightly over caliber.
My initial order was for 300gr, 375cal VRG2 & VRG3, and 575gr, .510cal VRG2. Even though I have not come close to the testing that I need to do I have since ordered more .375 VRG2's and 550gr .510cal VRG2 & VRG3 largely because the lead-time is many months; I went for a lighter .510's to get a bit more case capacity.
I've combed this forum and a few other sources for information on Peregrine bullets and have found very little. It is my hope that there are some AH members that have real-world field and/or hand-loading experience with Peregrine's, especially for Cape Buffalo.
