Do the new Triple Shocks foul the bore as much as the previous bullets? I'm interested in the .375H&H bullets.

From everything I've heard about them they don't foul as much due to the many grooves in the bullet length. Seems most are happy with them so far and get better accuracy than they did with the X bullet. Also, you can seat them a little closer to the rifling, so I've heard. I've got some loaded up but not tested yet at .030" off the rifling but not in a .375 H&H.

Thanks. I'd be interested to know your results with the 375s.

Questor, other than reduction of friction in the barrel, the Triple Shocks were also designed to reduce copper fouling.
