Is a 270-gr., 375 H&H bullet enough for the notorious Zambezi Delta Cape Buffalo?

[@floridagunrat1625]

All my life, I have dreamed of going on a safari in Africa, now. In my 60s, it is quite clear that I will never be able to afford that. That being said, It didn't stop me from buying a rifle in 375 H & H. After all, there's some big old wild hogs out here in the Florida swamps that can be tough to stop!

[@Mark-uq9km]

I'm always one rifle away from happy.

[@bertielombard1801]

Never give up hope! It's the best experience you will have with your clothes on... I would, however, upgrade from a 375 as buff have phenomenal ability to absorb hot lead.

[@floridagunrat1625]

@bertielombard1801 I like the way you think, and I do have a 416 Taylor build on a 1909 argentine action in the works!

Just know that you can hunt plains game in Limpopo for $3k to $20k … a 7 day hunt starts at appx$400/day plus trophy fees…👍👍

You got me with the YT phone notification. I thought you were using ye ole 270 Winchester 😂😂😂. Wasn't until the video launched and I read the full title, which makes more sense.

[@MrPh30]

270 grain .375 is well known as the all round bullet and of no other options depending on maker I would used it . 270 grain Brenneke TOG ,NF or Rhino for instance expanding ones .

On both my buff I used 350 grain 375 H&H. Last one North Fork Dangerous Game softs with solids for follow up shots, both loaded for the same point of aim at 50 yards - around 2,150 FPS. Both bullets (Woodleigh and North Fork) performed perfectly, neither bull required a second shot.

It was up and going for quite some time and took several more rounds..

[@vortec6209]

Minimum legal caliber is 375. Minimum personal caliber is 40 with 400 grain bullet. Preferred caliber is 45 with 500 grain bullet.

What about expanding vs non expanding?

A well placed shot with a 3006 and top shelf expanding bullets gets it done the bigger rifle caliber you can shoot well is better yet bullet placement is king

[@tomdonaghy8625]

220 grain Swift bonded in a 30-06, no talking back to that.

[@robertmarshall6508]

​@tomdonaghy8625 sectional density for days it's good for em and it helps em too

[@maxcontax]

No personal experience but given the legendary toughness of these critters I would have gone with a 300 grain for higher sectional density and larger meplat. My short answer to the question is No.

I was wondering what the best factory load was for the 30.06 everything frum bobcats to whitetail. I live in east Texas

[@vortec6209]

I always liked the 165 grain Hornady Interlock

[@grannydeen1586]

3006 is a little overkill for bobcat, isn't it?

[@austinhuber3131]

My knee jerk opinion is that 200 grains going fast enough is sufficient to kill any land animal on the basis that the square cube law and modern gravity prevents any fauna from developing musculature that would deter a 200 grain bullet going more than 1700 fps. Having said that, of course heavier is theoretically better, but how much better do you need?

[@kristian762]

It'll do the job but I'd take something a bit bigger

[@theshittybowman]

I LOVE my Mossberg .270… not very common, but it’s a perfect rifle for the set up I have it for… for coyotes I will for sure reach out and try 700-800 yards but I’m not quite there yet. For deer and elk… I am very comfortable shooting 600 yards (I like to get closer when hunting an animal) at the range but depending on the situation… I’d feel comfortable reaching out to 500. I found the Hornady’s Precision ELD-X 145g shoot awesome- 37.5 inch drop at 500, super fun!

[@JimYeats]

Whose bush, Kevin Brittinghams? All because he flew to Africa just to shoot one with his 8.6 so he could tell everyone he did? You’ve had more Cape Buffalo and other huge dangerous game killed with the lowly 303 British than probably any other cartridge, yet no one is advocating for taking that with you.

[@drakeslocum2564]

Isn’t 375 the minimum legal caliber?
