Except your Ruger will be 2-5” shorter in barrel, which will make hunting the Congo and its thick vegetation easier. Right?This sums it up nicely. The cold hard truth is that neither kills game such as buffalo any deader than the other. No animal shot with either cartridge’s bullet will know the difference. For me, the H&H was the logical choice and there isn’t a single time I’ve regretted that choice. It’s simply excellent.
I’ll be shooting a 375 Ruger on a hunt next year, but only because that’s what my PH has in the Congo and I can’t take my own rifle there. Shooting a Bongo at 10 yards, it won’t matter what I’m shooting.
At least that’s the reason people say they won’t use a supressor.
