I got to wondering about just how stable the 350-grain .375 monometal bullets are once they enter heavy/dangerous game. This might have come up before, but has anyone had much experience with such bullets in buffalo, elephant or hippo?

Considering their length, a wide-meplat non-expanding monolithic .375/350gr. bullet should be plenty stable. This assumes they hae already stabilized when they impact the animal.

The 350 gr Woodleigh PP and solid are shorter than a 300gr Barnes. They are Less than MOA in my pre64 M70. The two buffalo that I have used them on got very sick very fast.
