Preferred bullets for RSA Plains Game

[cmk]

+1 for NorthFork. But the ones on your list should work more than adequately. A-frames may be hard to find, but Barnes seem to be easier to locate.

I’ve killed everything on your list with Remington Core-Lokt bullets and an 06.
However…
Nosler PT, Swift A-Frame, Swift Scirocco II, Barnes TTSX and Federal TBBC are all better choices.
Shoot the one that’s most accurate in the chosen rifle.
The old 30-06 recipe of a 165gr NPT, on top of 56-58gr of IMR 4350 is outstanding for PG.

I feel like this topic needs to be a sticky at the top of this forum. Could probably rival the Politics thread.

I would definitely leave either the 375 or 300 behind. Take the one you shoot the best. I’ve killed 10 Eland with all guns you’ve listed. 200 grains out of a .300 cal of any make or model is hard to beat for plains game!!! Most of my game has been Nosler Partions, but all bullets listed here will work. Like someone said, “ a small whole in the heart is better than any whole anywhere else”.
