Soft Points & Solids in a hot .375

I shoot H&H, Wby, and Rum, all good. I prefer the speed for follow up, may get a shot at him at a bad angle or longer shot running away. (always shoot till he is on the ground, make sure ph says it is correct animal). TSX or a frame. At that speed 300 is good. Last trip wife used 250 in her H&H. I used 270s in my Rum. You can’t push Barnes to fast. They are spectacular at 2700 plus. The lighter bullets reduce SD so they absorb more energy. 2 eland and a buff this trip. All noticeably staggered to the shot.
 
Im going to keep it short and simple slow them pills down get a good grouping. Shot placement is king. PERIOD. (as you folks on the other side of the pond say).
When hunting Biff I carry 5 solids IF I need them. So far they have never been used. I favour a bonded bullet as heavy as you can get/use.

Trust me you dont want that bullet passing through and hitting another animal.

Biff? He was such a jerk.

We really should quit using those fast 30-06s and return to using 30-30s

I realize how hard the bug has bit. I’m on the cusp of safari #2 and I’m looking to plan #3 with my 11 year old a year from now while looking at my work schedule for overtime and computing the math of how many shifts are needed….

I'd like to get some too.

My wife (a biologist, like me) had to have a melanoma removed from her arm last fall.

Hallo Marius- do you have possibilities for stags in September during the roar? Where are your hunting areas in Romania?

I'm about ready to pull the trigger on another rifle but would love to see your rifle first, any way you could forward a pic or two?
Thanks,
