Hornady Bullets

Hornady is a well-known American bullet manufacturer, but in regards to the .375 H&H magnum, Hornady is probably the leader when it comes to the so-called "solid" bullets.

Hornady's 300-grain Round Nose-Full Metal Jacket (RN-FMJ) bullet is considered by many to be the best "solid" bullet for the .375. These massive bullets are designed to do one thing: penetrate. And that they will, through the super tough hide of the Cape buffalo to the massive skull of the African elephant. Hornady also makes several other .375 caliber bullets including a 220-grain Flat Point, 270-grain Soft Points and Round Noses, 300-grain Round Noses, Boat-Tailed Soft Points and the RN-FMJ's.

Here is some of the loading data for the Hornady 300-grain RN-FMJ that has worked for me

Nosler Bullets

Nosler makes one of the greatest bullets of all-time: the Partition. The Partition is a controlled expansion soft-point bullet designed to provide reliable expansion with sufficient weight retention to continue penetration. Partitions are regarded by many as the best all around bullet for any game in any caliber. For the .375, Nosler produces the Partition in two bullet weights: 260-grains for large animals such as elk and certain African plains game and a massive 300-grain bullet for large, dangerous game such as North America's great bears and the African Big Five (elephant, white rhino, Cape buffalo, lion and leopard).

But what about .375 caliber Ballistic Tips? In short, don't hold your breath. 

By design, Ballistic Tips are designed for use on smaller animals (up to about 400 pounds). Also, stability issues are a concern on heavy caliber Ballistic Tips because of the light weight and sharp profile of the polycarbonate tip.

Others

There are numerous other bullet manufacturers who produce bullets for the .375 H&H magnum. Some of these manufacturers include Barnes Bullets, Inc. Barnes makes an "X" bullet (a solid-copper bullet designed to retain as close to 100% of its weight as possible)in the 235-grain weight class as well as a 300-grain "X" bullet. Barnes bullets are highly praised by those whose rifles will shoot them, but many riflemen claim that their rifle will not shoot them to any degree of consistent accuracy.

Trophy Bonded offers several .375 caliber bullets including a 240-grain Bearclaw (softpoint) which is reputed to be awesome for longer range Elk, a 300-grain Bearclaw, and a 300-grain Sledgehammer solid.

Win 760 and RWS 5333 primers to drive both the 240-grain and the 300-grain Bearclaws to about 2,560 fps with almost the same point of aim in his rifle.

Other manufacturers include Swift, makers of the famous "A-Frame" bullet which is claimed to have a 98%+ weight retention. Swift offers .375 caliber bullets as does A-Square who offers their "Triad" of bullets - "Dead Tough Soft Point," "Lion Load," and "Monolithic Solid". For commercial ammunition, you may want to try Winchester Ammunition and Federal Cartridge Company. Federal loads Nosler Partitions and Trophy Bonded Bearclaws in their premium line of cartridges. Also, Remington loads Swift A-Frames in their Safari line of cartridges.
