SBT375 H&H Factory Solids
At this point, I'll be using Remington Safari Grade 375 H&H ammo with 300 grain swift A-Frames on my leopard/plains game safari. I'd like to take some solids along for dik-dik and steenbuck. Who makes a solid in factory ammo that would have the best chance of duplicating the Remington point of impact?

GeorgeSEach gun is a law unto itself. There really is no way to prognosticate where your gun will place bullets of two different contructions (and probably velocity).
There are only a few makers of .375H&H ammo loaded with solids, so buy a box of each and try each one.
Unless you intend to mount those animals full-size, just use the Swifts. Aim a bit further back than you might otherwise, so you don't destroy the cape.
