Looking for: What do you think?

[Ridge Runner]

With bullets and ammo getting hard to find.
What would you chose in factory ammo? Only 4 choices!
Only 300 grain!
Solid and soft bullets!

A. Norsler in solid and soft
B. Swift in solid and soft
C. Federal in solid and soft
D. Hornady in solid and soft

Or a mix of the 4 choices above.

Please:
No other options!
Factory ammo only option!
No reloading options!

Ammo is for .375 H&H mag, and for both DG: hippo (land or water) and buff, and PG: eland and gemsbuck/oryx.

No offense but Please for this conversation any other recommendations or personal opinions I am not really interested in.

I would go with the Swift ammo because it is always in stock and a frame is an excellent bullet. Federal has good offerings including Swift a frame, but often appears out of stock. I have no experience with norma.

B

 

[Tgood1]

2nd or 3rd the swift option, ( cant really tell my place in line)

 

[Tgood1]

shit, sorry. Just figured out "B" option. I 3rd it

1. Norma - has consistently been good in my rifles
2. Federal - very good
3. Hornady - cheap, consistent, think they fixed any bullet issues
4. Swift - good bullet - tried when first came out - wasn't impressed

Federal with Swift Aframe. Thats what all three of my 375s like. I stocked up when this mess started. Have 200 rds of it and just ordered some more

 

[Ridge Runner]

I edited from Norma to Nosler (misspelled). Since I had responses before the edit, I will include a 5th option: Norma.

Reason for this is, As I was checking sites for 375 bullets: Nosler, Swift (A Frames), Federal, and Hornady (which I reload with), and Nosler are my only options for reloading or factory ammo. I am not a fan of Sierra or Speer bullets.

Not on your list, but Barnes 300 gr TSX in 375HH.

 

[Ridge Runner]

Not on your list, but Barnes 300 gr TSX in 375HH.

Every place I checked for Barnes in 375 bullets was out of stock. That is why there are only 4 choices listed plus the 5th choice added in a late edit.

Barnes 300gr. TSX on GB. 200 rounds. last bid $455. Or, wait till Nosler has their Safari bullet sale. 300gr Partitions @ $50 box. But, they’re usually always out of .375.

Unquestionably Swift A frames. Thee preferred choice in my opinion by most African PH’s. Better yet ask your PH. What I did for my 375 Ruger was have superior ammo out of North Carolina send me a test box of different bullets, primer ,powder and then see what shot best. After testing the results were Swift A frames in softs and Northfork solids.

 

[Red Leg]

Swift A-Frame.

I personally prefer the Federal load to the actual Swift one - or at least my rifles seem to do so (sub MOA).
Whatever solid shoots closest. My rifles again like the Federal, in this case with the 300 gr Hydro load.
