Is there a .375" bullet that works like an ELD or TMK?

I feel like at some point I'll want to buy a 375 Ruger Alaskan, which have a 1 in 12" twist. This would be for no good reason just to be honest. Launching something like a 275-300 grain match bullet into a large animal or metal target would be awesome, but if I'd be stuck with mono, bonded, or round nose bullets I don't really see a point in North America.

I would reload for it, but I don't know if there are any bullets that would have similar external and terminal ballistics as a TMK, ELD, etc. Are there options that I just haven't seen? Closest I've found was Accubonds, which isn't exactly what I'm looking for.

Doesn't berger make a hybrid target in .375? You could try those. Just open up the tip a bit.
Edit: with a 1 in 12 i think your options are really limited

With the new regs in Iowa allowing 35 cal and up bottleneck cartridges, I had asked a similar question for 35 cal. My conclusion was that it probably won’t happen, by the time weight is high enough for good bc, they are heavy and recoil is stout. Twist is too slow as it’s designed around 200-250g.

I would like to see a better BC in a 200g. I have thought Hornady might take some of the tech for their new varmit it bullets and use it to make 35 and 375 cal that are longer, yet still around 200g.

The minimum twist for the 410 Hybrid is 1:11.5

Even a lowly monometal 375 kills quickly. Instead of a Nalgene bottle of wound, you’ll have a 5 gal bucket of blood shot. Wanton waste is a crime.

But seriously, it wouldn’t kill any quicker and you’d lose more meat

I shoot partitions, tsx and accubonds in my 375h&h. Ballistics are very similar to the 30-06 which is very underrated. You'll be holding more wind, but when you slap a plate at 600 with a 300gr 375 you will know it.

Bringing this one back to the top. I received a .375 raptor (the big cased one not the baby one) a little while back and am looking for the best hunting bullet to sling out of it.

I know any bullet will probably work just fine but this is built for shooting a long ways and I want to use the best performing bullet possible in that situation.

Neck it down to 9.3mm and shoot the 250gr Accubond at .494 G1 BC.

That’s the wildcat that’s been living rent free in my head. Base it on the .33 Nosler case and not only is good brass available, but it will also fit in a 3.25” medium length mag with the bullet seated to the cannelure.

Yes, I would like to know about long range .375 cal bullets as well.

That 410 Berger has an amazing BC and I’d love to build a rifle for it, but have absolutely no reason to tho.
