Advice on Hippo hunt

[RockSlinger404]

I have shot a few Hippos on land & they have been exhilarating hunts all, whether by Moon light, flashlight or daylight.

I have unfortunately not used the calibers I prefer but had to make do with a .375 H&H using from 300gr to 380gr bullets being softs (sort of) or at least expanding Peregrine Bushmaster 300gr & the Rhino 380gr the .380gr did not turn the .375 into a .40 caliber killer but did exit on body shots as did the Peregrine.

I think both these South African companies would ship to your country if asked ?

This is very helpful info, thank you!

I'm planning to use 300gr Peregrine VRG3 in two week's time. I've loaded the solids (VRG2) as well, but it sounds like the VRG3 will work well even for body shots.
