[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1276044, member: 30902"] I spent over a year buying, trying, testing, rifles, scopes and ammo to make sure I had everything covered before I got to Africa and even at that, my first two shots with the Swift SciroccoII's were abysmal failures leaving me with a gun I could not trust for the rest of the hunt unless I could replace them and do it fast with a bullett my PH had complete faith in and I didn't want to spend the rest of the trip shooting all of the small and large animals alike with the .375 Ruger because although the DGX's were getting the job done, they were separating, something they are not supposed to do and as a result weren't giving me anything close to through and through shots even shooting zebral on the shoulder or my big sable dead straight on center of the chest. The wider my experience has gotten on medium and large game the more demanding I've become as to what I expect as minimal acceptable terminal performance. I want considerable but controlled expansion I can count on every time I pull the trigger that makes big enough hole and carries enough mass and velocity to the target to guarantee to the greatest extent possible one shot kills that produce minimal meat loss. In order, my favorite bullets based on that criteria are the Peregrine Plainsmaster, Hornady Interbond, and Nosler Accubond. I have also had acceptable but limited performance out of the Longer range versions of both the Peregrine and Nosler bullets previously mentioned. [/QUOTE]
