I always take a few solids in the chance of shooting something really small or really big . Don’t plan to use them on the buff. Just didn’t want to make a book out of short question.

I think I will try the woodleigh hydro. They cost a bunch but shouldn’t take to many to make up a load.

Can anyone tell me why Barnes doesn’t offer the 375 anymore. I see they still have the 9.3 and 416?

Woodleigh's FMJ is a direct descendant of Kynoch's FMJ which was the original solid used by the great white hunters during the golden age of elephant hunting. more elephants have been brought down with steel jacketed FMJ bullets then every other type of bullet combined.

now in modern times there is no reason to use a solid on a cape buffalo... but the poster didnt ask if it was a good idea.

I have been away from the Africa fever for a bit.

This summer my wife and I are going to see if we can put a buff on the wall.

In the past I used Barnes 350 grain solids in my Rum. I see that they don’t list them anymore but they list the other DG calibers.

Does anyone know where I can find them or is there a 350 grain from another company that would be a good replacement.
