9.3x74R in Africa
I'm setting up my Merkel 141 for a coming cape buff hunt. I'd like to shoot Woodliegh soft/solid combo. I'm getting 2100-2115 fps with the 320g and 2330fps with the 286g. Both bullet weights regulate with the Merkel adjustable regulation system. Of the two bullet weights which would you choose for cape buff?

If I have a choice I will always take the heavier bullet assuming the bullet shoots well and is stable.
