HopDoc,

One problem is heading into the bush you just never know what's around the corner. Since I prefer elephant hunting, my rifle starts loaded with solids, but given time or limiting the hunt to only one animal and starting with the optimum load:

Elephant: solid(right -first- barrel)/solid(left -second- barrel)
Buff: North Fork Cup Point(nfcp)/nfcp or soft/solid
Hippo on land: solid/solid
Rhino: solid/solid
Cats: soft/soft
Croc:
PG: bigger PG like kudu, waterbuck, zebra soft/solid
smaller PG like klipspringer, impala solid/solid

My prefernce for solids is North Fork flat nose solid then Woodleigh solids.

Woodleigh softs have been fine on the few animals I have shot with them.

I would hunt anything with my rifle loaded with NF solids or Woodleigh solids.

Animals killed with my DR and the primary bullet type:
11 elephants - all solids
4 cape buffalo - all solids
1 zebra - soft
1 klipspringer - solid
1 baboon - soft
