Re: 300gr Sierra Game King for Buffalo
plaauw....have a squizzie at my post on the velocity as well as Messor's post #20.
However...i am sure your buddy will be back safe and sound.
Just as a matter of interest,as it does make a difference,is your buddy gonna hunt a bull or a cow?Lots of okes are now shooting cows as they are less than half the price of a bull and this whole thread has actually been about buff bulls.

Re: 300gr Sierra Game King for Buffalo
OK - so Messor wants to know why I asked the question ......
I am a firm believer in Sierra and will remain that way forever ..... BUT there comes a time when maybe (just maybe) there is a better bullet for the job. I have a year to get ready for a possible bushveld experience and Buff might be on the list. My thinking at the moment is to work up a load with softs and solids. For the softs I am deciding between the Rhino bonded solid shank and the Swift A Frame. For the solid I am thinking of the Barnes or the Rhino 300gr.
I was looking for a good reason not to shoot the Sierra into a Buff. If there was overwhelming evidence to show that a 300gr Sierra is widely used and respected by PHs, then I would have stayed with it. I will continue to use the Sierra 300gr for all the non dangerous stuff but Uncle Buff is another story entirely.
So ... I will put the Sierras aside for the purpose of my bushveld trip and start experimenting. All advice is welcome.

Re: 300gr Sierra Game King for Buffalo
Why would you want to shoot Sierra's when they seem to be more expensive than A-frames or Barnes?

Re: 300gr Sierra Game King for Buffalo
Anyways, 2 tips.
Firstly check the price of Norma Oryx.
Secondly, if one doesn't know what your rifle will do with a specific bullet, Peregrine does sell bullets per 25, meaning you can try a monolithic whiles only buying a few.

Re: 300gr Sierra Game King for Buffalo
I've just gone over to 300gr Norma Oryx in my 375H&H. Price is very good but accuracy is fantastic.
