Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Africa Large Cat Caliber

Nothing more than you would expect performance wise. This is a 375 300 gr taken from a lion after full body length penetration. It was hit in the chest and traveled the full 6 ft through the body to be recovered under the skin of the left rear leg.




Same projectile:




Softer bullets like Woodleigh would be a better bet on soft skinned DG animals like lions and leopard. Higher velocity helps.

See if your rifle likes Woodleigh or other premium grade softer ammo and you should be good. If there was any doubt, I would like the 375 over any of the other calibers mentioned for the reason you need one.
