That's absoluty right! On buffalo use FMJ bullets or solids by small calibers( 9,3 , 375H&H ) and premium SP bullets up. But only FMJ or solids for elefant!!!




I would not agree. I would always use a good SP for an initial heart/lung shot on a buff with a medium, and proberbly for the second as well. It will give greater arterial damage. I might keep a solid at the bottom of the mag, but as I would not consider 9.3 or 375 as stopping rifles, then by the time you get to use it, if necessary when TSHTF, the PH will have killed it anyway.


As I do not think that it is wise to go after an Ele' with a medium, then I see no use for solids in a medium for modern guided hunting situations.
