I pull the leg of a friend here who's normal Roe round is a .270 propelled from his legendary old Mannlicher. I can certainly testify they dont want another and there was not a lot of damage to the one I necked with the old smokepole. A 375HH is though a whole new ball game on Roe especially at 60 yards, what was the front shoulder damage like?. With a stag still standing after 5 minutes why did you not give it another one, I would have done pretty quick. A Hi Alycidon, The meat was fine on the roe. Entered between the shoulders (it was facing me) and the shot exited o

its 3.50 a shot. I have about 85 left - once they are gone i will reload the brass I think, probably with TSX.

I phoned kynoch today. The bullet is a woodleigh weldcore. Apparently the 235 grain bullet would be better for deer, as the 270 grain bullet will go straight through unless it hits something solid. The chap seemed to think that anywhere in the heart and lungs would be safe, even without expansion. I think the shot was too low or too far back and didn't hit the heart or lungs. I will keep using the ammo and work on shot placement I think. Next trip should be on the 17th Sept so will update then.

Hi Jonathan, Yes - I bought the ammo from kynamco recently. The accuracy is good. I am using .375 H&H in 270 grain soft nose. I have shot a roe buck with the ammo already, at short range (60m). It dropped on the spot, but then again the bullet passed straight through the top of its heart and exited near the diaphragm. I shot a stag in the chest at 200 and it was still standing 5 minutes later. I am currently blaming poor shot placement, but perhaps this is compounded by having just "drilled" it with a round that didn't expand. Many people would think that a round that big anywhere

Gents - sorry for the very long delay here. I am using new kynamco ammunition for deer and suspect that it may not be expanding much. Could any of you shed some light on this?
