Looking for thoughts and those who have used Hornady 180gr SST and/or Interbonds on plains game in Africa. I have both and am looking for a designated PG round for my 300 H&H. Kudu will be the largest of the PG on this upcoming hunt. Anything larger the 375 will take with 300gr TBBC’s
Thank for your insight…
 
I have found the SST to be softer than just the standard SP and of course the interbond. I limit the SST to Texas whitetail personally.

I have used a 180 grain Hornady SP out of a 06’ to take a Hartmanns zebra Stallion. 175 yards give or take - Shoulder shot dropped him dead.

I would not hesitate to use that combo again on plainsgame. Moderate velocity is key and I think a 300h&h would be fine.

The Interbond were a great bullets but were discontinued. I wish I had bought more when they were available. Here is a picture of a 154 grain Interbond out of a 7mm magnum on a large bodied mule deer.

In 13 African safari's and an equal number of North American hunts, BUZZ is the best guide I have ever hunted with.
