plains game rifle
      14/01/09 01:17 PM

Hi guys I am very seriously thinking of in the next couple of years heading over to Africa to hunt plains game. I understand that the Eland is the biggest, and that they can be nearly a ton, and that also shots at times can be over some pretty long distances.

I own a .340 weatherby magnum which I love, and I am wondering if its enough gun for the animals I'll be hunting? If it not enough what would be suitable, and if it is enough what bullets would be best to take over? I currently load 225 barnes TSX's for 3100 fps, and nosler 225 grain Accubonds for 3150fps. The nosler bullet load shoots very very flat, but it doesnt shoot quiet to the same P.O.I as the TSX, and the TSX will hold together well but wont shoot as flat or quiet as accurately. I am in Australia so swift bullets arn't avalible, though most others such as Hornady, Speer, Sierra etc are.

Cheers

Steve
