Plains Game & 375 Ruger
      31/07/10 12:14 PM

Am not long returned from RSA plains game hunt. I agonised over what rifle/caliber for some time & settled on a 375Ruger Alaskan & 2.5x8 Leupold, not a tradittional African gun but is a good unit for Samabar in Oz with our wet winter hunting.
Rifle & cartridge performed flawlessly (although I didn't) with the 270gn Hornady factory stuff on all species, Warthog to Kudu and from 60 to 140 metres. Only had one bullet exit and that was on Impala at 60 metres.All went down quickly. Am going back for buffalo & Sable in 2012 & would be interested to hear if anyone has a good & tried buff load for this cartridge.

Great site & regards to all.
