In the realm of firearm projectiles, precision and performance are paramount. The .375 caliber bullet from Sierra stands as a testament to this principle. Designed with exacting standards for the 375 Winchester cartridge, it embodies the balance between power and control that every marksman seeks.
At its core, this round is engineered with Sierra's renowned PowerJacket technology. This unique feature ensures consistent expansion while maintaining penetration capabilities essential for medium to heavy game hunting. Whether chambered in a rifle or revolver, such as those offered by Thompson Center like the T/C Contender, this bullet showcases versatility across platforms.
Weighing in at 200 grains with a flat nose configuration, it is crafted specifically for use in tubular magazines—a nod to practicality without sacrificing performance. With sectional density calculated at .203 and ballistic coefficients ranging from .195 at velocities above 2100 fps down to .248 below 1400 fps, each shot promises optimal trajectory stability over varied distances.
Although originally tailored for rifles using modest velocity outputs typical of the 375 Winchester—around an advisable maximum of 2200 fps—it has proven equally adept when paired with handguns like those chambered in 375 Super Magnum revolvers. Herein lies its adaptability; designed primarily as a rifle bullet yet performing admirably within handgun parameters due to significant exposed lead tip skiving which promotes rapid expansion upon impact.
Introduced back in 1987 under model #2900, this projectile remains distinguished not only by accuracy but also through reliability on both game fields and silhouette ranges alike. For enthusiasts demanding excellence whether pursuing trophy hunts or engaging targets competitively—the choice becomes unmistakable.
