I have had catastrophic bullet failure with a 375 H&H 300 gr. Sierra soft point. Was just too soft and fragile. Had better success a few times when I was so damn busy that I had to use factory ammo instead of hand loading my own. Federal "Blue Box" 300 gr. Soft point ( I think they are called power shock) and Remington plain old green box 270 gr. Core-lok soft points. Typical cup and core separation or small weight retention on both these bullets. But they absolutely crumpled game. At 30-200 yards. Used with these results on several Gemsbok, hartebeest, springbok,warthog, wilderbeast, and others. IMHO I would use these standard economy bullets in 375 H&H over the Sierra. Elk was too much for it as well.
I am currently looking for a 300 H&H. Have always wanted one just for Africa. Sooner or later I will trip into one that fits the bill. Maybe I will have a Zastava rechambered or a Husqavarna.
