270 grain Barnes LRX (375 H&H) for Buffalo??

Hey Guys,

Has anyone used the Barnes 270 grain LRX on Buffalo? For a person bringing one rifle to Africa the 375 H&H seems right. The 270 LRX provides a very flat trajectory that should be great for plains game, but also a TKO index of 40.

My assumption is that this would work well for an all around cartridge but wanted to know if anyone has done it. Also I’m not factoring in buffalo charges and the such. Just normal Buffalo hunting scenarios.

Thanks

Great experience with Cabela's Gun Library in Buda, TX

MrCapstick comes home, the 470

First I needed to address the stock. Though ergonomically great it was, for such nice rifle, an amazingly bland piece of wood that had no...

Where are the best places to track Eland?

I’m interested in doing an Eland hunt. I’d like it to be a traditional tracking style hunt. I would appreciate some input on where the best places are to do this. If it was in an area with good bushbuck hunting that would be a bonus !

I should also mention that although I’m sure I’d love it, I’m not looking for a Lord Derby Eland at the moment.

Thanks!
