+1 on solids suck
Over the years I've come to the conclusion that the primary reason buffalo got such a reputation for being hard to kill was the erratic results of cup-and-core "softs," and not just in smaller calibers like .375 but .40+ cartridges. Which is why so many PH's recommended solids.
If I ever hunt buffalo again (which may or may not happen) will use a .375 H&H and some brand of monolithic in the 270-grain range, and not bother with solids.
From what I'm seeing (I'm not a buff hunter) and hearing, some PH thinking may be regional. For example I've heard of more than one Zim PH preferring TSX's.
Whereas in RSA, soft, solid combo seems more prevalent. Now this is a small sampling of reports. But it makes sense that PH's talk and share what works best for them and their clients. And, I guess that could be regional. Would appreciate thought on that.
