.375 Hornady bullets for Africa?

[HARPERC]

.....358/300 RUM.....Stay young at heart... double bypass, ablation and pacemaker help with that HA......

Did a .358 AI....The .358/300 RUM is a persistent buzz in my head.

I grew up in Pinole, needed to make a trip back, but all the covid nonsense kept us home.

Do you think the DGS (solid) performs better?
I've been pretty happy with Hornady's .375 GMX and wouldn't mind sticking with that brand.

Well I don't know, I used the expanding bullets on that trip as I was hunting Buffalo, eland, and other plains game that crossed my path-I would have had solids if I was hunting elephant (or my 416) Now let me say--I use a 375 RUM, and this was around the first year they released the DGX bullet (around 2012). So were there bugs in the bullets? Were they not built for 2825 fps out of my rum? Don't know--but they broke up badly and my first shot on that eland was about 155 yards --so not like it was right off the end of the muzzle. I have used swift, Barnes, woodleighand now hammer and been quite pleased...id leave heavy boned, and dangerous game to better constructed bullets.

Filled out my RUM suite: 300RUM, 338 EDGE, 358/300RUM, 375RUM & 416/300RUM. Enjoy all of them. I like the 375RUM best on my Mausingfield action with a H-S Precision stock & bottom metal, Trigicon scope. Everything about it is just right.

I had mine built by Bill Wiseman right when the 375 RUM came out, it is a **** accurate rig, ugly but accurate...I must have been drinking heavily when I picked the color scheme as when I picked it up--I was not loving it...I've taken it to Africa 3 different times, it has taken Buffalo, and large plains game like giraffe, eland and small stuff like diker and steinbok. I shot a blue wildebeest one time between the eyes at 160 yards as he would not move out of the edge of the brush, my PH after that--let me take any shot that was presented--it is a gun that builds confidence. I'd have built a 416 RUM--but have sworn off wildcats for the most part.
