Range Trip Tommorow - Berry's Bullets & High-Speed Video of the .375 H&H Magnum to follow

Well it's that time of the week for a range visit. Will be making a jaunt down to the range to test out some new pistol loads using some new 125 grain Berry's Plated Bullets I picked up for the .357 Magnum and .38 Special:

Two .38/.357 Bullets; on the left, a 125 grain Berry's Plated Flat Point Bullet. On the right, a 158 grain Hornady XTP Jacketed Hollowpoint.
 Berry's Plated Bullets offer the best of both worlds when it comes to cost and performance.  For those people who don't wish to shoot pure cast lead bullets in their reloads but don't want to pay the higher cost of conventional jacketed bullets, plated bullets represent a good compromise.

Berry's offers bullets for most applications. Here is the 125 grain .38/.357 bullet and the 115 grain 9mm Round Nose Bullet
I have used the Berry's 115 grain 9mm bullets extensively in my 9mm handloads, and have experienced great results and great accuracy.  Just use lead bullet load data as the Berry's website suggests, and you should experience the same great results. I will be sure to report back on the performance of the 125 grain bullets after testing tomorrow.

Also, tomorrow will be the first time that the Mad Aussie and myself get to test out his Winchester Model 70 in .375 Holland & Holland Magnum:




The .375 H&H Magnum is typically considered the absolute minimum acceptable caliber when hunting dangerous game animals in Africa.  Some African countries even require by law that at least a .375 caliber and above cartridge be used.  It should be an interesting experience to say the least, and I will be sure to take some high-speed video of it being shot, along with some other firearms.

Stay Tuned.
