Hi Guys came across these rounds. Are they any good?

Gunwriter Ross Seyfried considered the Winchester Fail Safe to be the best hunting bullet ever made. I used the 180-grain in a .30-06 on a cow Elk with great success in 1999. I recently purchased 200 300-grain .375 bullets off Gunbroker. More than I'll ever need.
Unfortunately, it was an expensive and complex bullet to make so it was dropped by Winchester a number of years ago. They created the XP3 which is similar, but isn't available as a component bullet or so it seems.
 
Yep! Had a friend that used them.
 
Never used them but as others have said they are supposed to be a great bullet if your gun shoots them, many don't.
 
Used them once in my 375hh on Eland. Cant say I was overly impressed with them. All the peddles broke off on both bullets I recovered.
 
many years ago I used them for whitetail hunting in a 270 BAR.
I was happy with them. killed many deer with them.
Hunting river hill country so all but a few shots were really close.
 
I guy whom I hunted with back in the 90s used them in one of his Husqvarna .270s to shoot some nice tahr in the Southern Alps. You need a good bullet for that task.
 
I think this is the best hunting bullet I used.
I used it a lot in 270 Win 140 fr and 300 Win Mag 180 gr. And I still use it.
For African big games, I have 375 H&h 300 gr.
I hope to find some 375 H&H cartridges boxes to sell but it's very difficult...

They are excellent. Couple of family members used them in 30-06 and 308 Win on a mixed bag hunt in RSA with outstanding results.

I have used them & the Silvertip Win's in a .270 years ago. Very effective, but man they are hell on deer. Blow out half the animal. Too devastating if such a thing.

+1 Great to deal with. I purchased custom rifle. No issues.

I saw you were looking for some Swift A-Frames for your 9.3. I just bought a bulk supply of them in the 285g. version. If Toby's are gone, I could let 100 go for $200 shipped you are interested.
Thanks,
Gary

Booked with Harold Grinde - Gana River - they sure kill some good ones - who'd you get set up with?
