Use case for different 375 bullets? (fun opinion thread)

[DaddyFlip]

These are the projectiles I have for handloading 375 H&H. What would be your favored hunting use case for each of these (consider all continents)? I don't know who makes the top bullet for Federal Power-Shok / Remington High Performance Rifle ammunition. I assume it's a Federal SP/RN bullet; I can't find it in any catalog. Any of them you would not use at all for anything?

The Federal and Hornady bullets are going to be a very basic cup and core bullets. Good for targets and medium game.

I would only use the Woodleigh fmj for elephant. Round nose solids make a small hole but will go through a lot of animal.

The Barnes will make a good cape buffalo bullet.

Barnes 300 gr anything short of elephant.

Woodleigh 300 gr FMJ elephant

Hornady 270 gr plains game up to kudu

Fed/Rem 270 gr target practice and maybe a whitetail or smaller plains game.

Back in the day I found good ole Remingington Core lockt 270 or 300 gr round nose was satisfactory for any beast in the U.S. lower 48
. As I recall my cohort and I felt the same and the seemed to shoot to the same point of aim out through 200 yds
I don’t know if you could buy that bullet today
All the bullets mentioned in the post didn’t exist back then . Good performance on U.S. lower 48 big game . I still have a healthy supply of them
Hornady round nose were ok also

FWIW, to my common sense thinking, I have relented to one grain bullet, 2 types soft and solid, aka mono metal or FMJ, for each caliber of firearm. By doing this it reduces the costs of my reloading by not having a mega inventory of various weight bullets and powders for each firearm. If I need a lighter or heavier weight bullet I just choose a smaller or bigger caliber firearm.

For 375H&H, I use 300 grain Hornady DGS and DGX for hunting and target shooting, and 300 grain Barnes TTSX and TSX strictly for hunting.

Im of the same view. Try to use same powder across cartridges as well where practical.
Keeps everything consistant.
