Sierra 375 SBT in 375 JDJ

[mkee]

Has anybody shot this bullet in the 375 JDJ?  I've shot the Hornady 220 FP and I will shortly be working up a load for the Hornady 270 SP, but I really like the looks of the Sierra bullet.  If anybody out there has any load data for this bullet, let me know please.
Thanks,

MKEE,
 Are you referring to the Sierra 250 grain Spitzer Boat Tail bullet?
About ten years ago I called Sierra Tech line and was told that the 250 SBT was to hard to expand at the 375JDJ velocities. I had to laugh. I belong to JD's SIXGUNNER and old DOC Rogers, had shot several W.Va. deer with it and spoke highly of it! I have never used it but I'll see if I can go back and find Doc's load for it. Might take some time.

Jay, thanks for the reply.  I sent JD an email about the gun and the load I wanted to use.  He replied and said that the Sierra bullet probably wouldn't expand well for game hunting even though it was a very accurate bullet.  It is the GameKing bullet, and I believe it was designed for guns like the 375 H&H.  But I did some shooting this weekend with Hornady's 270 gr SP.  It was plenty accurate for hunting, and the velocity was averaging about 1900 fps.  I plan to get some 270 gr Speer boat tail bullets and do some test shooting with them.  The BC is much greater, and I hope the bullet will expand well enough at 100 yds for hunting.
Thanks again for the reply.
