What would be your choice for hunting in bushveld, impala to BWB, perhaps even Eland if opportunity presents.

Here are the options:

.308
1. Barnes TTSX 150gr
2. Barnes TTSX 168gr
3. Hornady Interbond 150gr
4. Swift A-Frame 180gr

If your rifle can stabalise the longer monolithic bullets i would say

1. Barnes TTSX 168gr
2. Barnes TTSX 150gr
3. Swift A-Frame 180gr
4. Hornady Interbond 150gr

But my choice is the new Rhino Penetrator bullets which i will be using this year.

Vir die 308 in bos kies 180gr Rhinos solid shank gaan ook min vleis skade he ! A-frames en barnes is goed maar glads te duur en nie nodig vir die 308 in die bos vir algemene wild spesies nie!

I feel compelled to strongly disagree. Barnes TTSX 150gr/168gr retail for R470 and R460 per 50 respectively, while the Rhino Solid Shank 180gr is R460 for 50 (Just checked the prices on S&O Website). The quality of Rhino is generally substandard with variations in bullet length being visual if all 50 bullets are lined up next to each other. Barnes are able to import and distribute a product at the same price. I'm all for supporting local bullet manufacturers, but if I can use a product which is more consistent in terms of its quality control, is a premium bullet and retails at the same price, I will have to choose the imported option. Furthermore, when are rhinobullets going to get a proper website??

Something wrong with your price for the Rhino bullets R330 for 50 180gr at Zimbi not so long ago! Hope your price is not true! You can also use Claw bullet also from PE good value for money for bonded core bullet! Also try VLT arms PRT for good prices!

Zimbi is R425/50 - at least that's on their website.

Thats the price for their Rhino Solid Shank's. I bought 4 packs of Rhino Penetrator's 165gr on friday and was R320 for 50 for the 30cal.
The best is to phone and not trust what you see on the internet sites
