I am merely stating that shots in South can be further than other areas--simply because of terrain and vegetation..at least this has been my experience..therefore if you are taking two guns and if it was me I would take one that "can reach out and touch someone"...

On my next trip I have decided on taking my .416 and .338 --reason for this is--no matter which gun I have in my hands at the time--if the shit hits the fan--either would probably do major damage on whatever I shot..however if a more precise shot is needed..ie; croc laying on a river bank and brain shot is offered--I feel much more capable with it in my hand that the heavy duplex 416--plus (it-(338) will be better suited for the plains game that will be shot for bait and trophies and might be at longer distances---

Again, each to their own..but that it my reasoning on this..

Good luck--look forward to your photos.
