Soft Points & Solids in a hot .375

I shoot H&H, Wby, and Rum, all good. I prefer the speed for follow up, may get a shot at him at a bad angle or longer shot running away. (always shoot till he is on the ground, make sure ph says it is correct animal). TSX or a frame. At that speed 300 is good. Last trip wife used 250 in her H&H. I used 270s in my Rum. You can’t push Barnes to fast. They are spectacular at 2700 plus. The lighter bullets reduce SD so they absorb more energy. 2 eland and a buff this trip. All noticeably staggered to the shot.
 
Im going to keep it short and simple slow them pills down get a good grouping. Shot placement is king. PERIOD. (as you folks on the other side of the pond say).
When hunting Biff I carry 5 solids IF I need them. So far they have never been used. I favour a bonded bullet as heavy as you can get/use.

Trust me you dont want that bullet passing through and hitting another animal.

We really should quit using those fast 30-06s and return to using 30-30s

Regarding the Dakota rifle - I am not a collector but have several and am always looking at them in the various places they show up. They are excellent rifles and are still operating but under Parkwest Arms now. Most Dakota 76 Safari rifles you will see are priced around $6000-$6500 but depends on wood stock quality and/or other options.

Just moving to DM. Yes, please ask your friend if he knows somebody who might be willing to support a persistent hunt in the snow.

Hi Paul,
This is Daniel from Mankazana Safaris.

I saw your post regarding a hunt in Africa. I am sure you have been bombarded with messages and replies from other outfitters, so I will keep this one quick.
I have a feeling we have exactly what you need for a first safari.
If you'd like to hear more, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Yours sincerely,

If you ever decide to sell this rifle, I will buy it with the dies, bullet, brass, the works. Dan
