I recently purchased a new production Winchester Safari Express in 375 H&H and it’s been great. The most accurate factory ammunition I’ve found are the Hornady 300 gr DGX Bonded. I’m getting ready to start reloading for this rifle and I’m wanting to replicate the factory 300 gr Hornady DGX loads. I’m planning on hunting with open sights.
