Have not killed anything with my 375 JDJ yet. Should take anything i come across and probably you also. Have taken deer and hogs with 375 win barrel though and with 309 and 358 JDJ's and they all worked well. Congrats on your doe.
Ever deer I shot with my 14" 375JDJ no matter the placement it was one shot and down, I have only used 220's, I had one deer that I couldn't get a good shot at its vital area so I figured if I put a round through its hips it would be down then I could get a kill shot, the shot was only around 80-85 yards and by the time I got to the deer it was dead. I guess dumping all that energy was just too much I did lose about 4-5 lbs. of meat.
The only other caliber that comes close to the 375 is the 460 S&W even with 200 grain loads it is just awesome.
HHI6818, My 375JDJ is close to what you have. I really like shooting the 225 grn Sierra's or Hornady bullets. I didn't get some 270grn Lehigh bullets and powder but haven't loaded them yet.
