Thank you to the community with real Safari experience for responding to this short survey. I am very grateful to you! So, finally, A-frame No. 1, TSX No. 2, TBBC No. 3.

There may be no such thing as the perfect bullet, but which one would you choose to load your favorite 375H&H rifle if you could only take one with you to deal with a variety of situations: a buffalo in a herd or a lone Danga Boy, a wildebeest or an eland, in open or closed terrain?

I love TSX and have never tried A-frame, even though I would have liked to, but Federal and Barnes hardly supply the European market anymore since the COVID crisis... French hunters who don't reload their ammunition will come to Africa to hunt big game with Hornady DGX/DGS bullets.

I faced the same dilemma with my future Blaser R8 375H&H and finally opted for the Kahles k16i, why? The X1-6 magnification range is sufficient from 0 to 300 m, and I would never shoot beyond this distance with a caliber such as the 375 H&H, and even then, I would make sure to use a very soft...

Chamois are very resilient: even with a bullet that pierces their heart, both lungs, and liver, they can still run for 50 meters (which is what happened to the one in the bag). Therefore, excessive expansion must be used to ensure that the animal is not lost. Hornady's ELD-X explosive is...

It looks like the Barnes are going through flesh, and the Solid is going through the bone of a rib... Wouldn't it be more appropriate for both to hit either bone or flesh?

No objectionable, just higher and it even seems to be an advantage for quick acquisition. You will have no pb with 50mm scope - safety is accessible by a push from the behind so no difficulty there.

From a functional point of view, I can't find any faults: 3-stage trigger weight, can be converted from right-handed to left-handed in 1 minute in the field, threaded barrel, ultra-resistant polymer stock and magazine, orange magazine color which is very useful for finding it. Shooting grouping...

I have been hunting with the BRX1 308 Win with a 20-inch barrel for three years now. It is a very reliable and accurate rifle. The optics on the Picatinny rail are a Holosun 510C for short-range shooting and a Leupold VX5 1-5x24 for longer-range shooting. I appreciate how quickly I can get it...

I am using ELD-X (max 500m) for Chamois and Wild Boars with very efficient and explosive effects. I would not use it on games > 100Kgr, but rather Barnes TTSX 168gr (max 300m)

For those on a tight budget, the philosophy of ‘two rifles of different calibres and three bullets per calibre allows you to cover everything properly without any noticeable change in PoI: My favourite pair is the 308Win/375H&H, but I could also have chosen the 30-06/375Ruger or the...
