Similar to the design ideas for the WSM cartridge family, but somewhat narrower which will frequently allow one more cartridge in the rifle magazine than the WSM equivalent. And yes, the Sierra bullet can suffer very high weight loss at high impact velocities, but it kills well. Hornady 's new Superformance loads produce a bit more velocity, and the rifle refinements made by Hill Country Rifle make it more accurate and user-friendly. Although bullet construction is always the most important consideration for fast and clean killing. With a 95-year track record, it is also a benchmark for bullet performance. But nobody makes taking that amount of game look easy with a poor rifle or an unsuitable cartridge, nor can it be done without consistently good bullet performance. The case is of a rimless design having the base and rim diameter of .532in (13.5mm), which is the same diameter of the belt on belted magnum cases based on the .300 H&H Magnum and .375 H&H Magnum. Those who want the highest possible velocities may wish to adopt a custom rifle start with a generous barrel length (my own preference is 26 to keep the blast and noise forwards while taming recoil). In any case, both the Swift and Woodleigh are far more reliable for hunting bovines than the 300 grain Partition bullet. It is designed to provide an increase in performance over the .375 H&H cartridge, yet to be chambered in a standard-length action rifle.

This projectile really comes into its own when used at extended ranges on game weighing over 150kg (330lb), though it works well on lighter body weights at close to moderate ranges. However, as suggested elsewhere within this knowledge base, this bullet can also prove to be neither fish nor fowl, being too soft for close range work on large game (and downright dangerous for hunting clawed game) while being too stout for extended range work.
