[QUOTE="Tom Wright, post: 1923325, member: 108611"] I spend a lot of time hunting with my .300, hunting everything from small African antelopes to red stag, kudu and eland. I use exclusively Swift A-frame and Barnes. Depending on animal size/species I use 150–180 grain bullets. I have a Leupold scope with CDS set with 165 gr Barnes. With lots of range time I can switch from 150, 165, 180 Barnes or Swift and know I’ll be fine out to 400+ yards. I love 180 gr. Swift on heavy animals as it rarely penetrates the off shoulder and ends up about the size of a quarter just under the skin. Go to their website and watch the clip on how it is supposed to work. Last year took an eland (around 1700#) with one shot at 375 yards. It stood there for a moment and then toppled over. The bullet could be felt just under the skin. I stopped reloading after 50+ years because factory ammo got so good. Started when I was 12 and will be 72 this year. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
