I have a safari coming up next year where I’ll hunt two very different areas. Normally I’d have no problem using my 375 H&H with 300 gr bullets out to 300 yards, but I would like something flatter shooting for smaller antelope. Ideal scenario I’d like to use 300 gr swift A frames zeroed for 100 yards and 250 gr Barnes TTSX for longer shots in second area. However, the difference between the two is the 250 gr TTSXs shoot about 6” higher than the 300 gr lead core bullets at 100 yards. I am considering trying 260 gr Nosler accubonds to see if differences between lead core bullets is possibly less? If I could find something where the 300 gr bullets are zeroed at 100 and lighter bullets shoot 3” high that would be ideal. I don’t hand load so I was hoping to get some opinions if anyone has any relevant experience using different bullet weights or other bullet suggestions before spending unnecessary money. I’d really like to avoid bringing a second rifle or my R8 if possible.
