my question is 'what calibre is most suited to take along for plains game?'
buff rifle is 416 rigby, and tossing up whether to take 358 win mag, or 257 roberts ackley improved as the choice for plains game




The .358 will double up as a buff rifle with suitable bullets so I would take that.

.358 Win Mag? or .338 Win Mag?

Either will do the job for both plains game and buffalo in an emergency (neither is probably legal though).

I wouldn't take a .257 unless aiming to specialise in small antelope.




.358 win mag in the new ruger frontier,new toy at the mom, but just love the carryability plus the stopping power of 225gr projectile with 40 gr ar 2207. up to 180yrds has proved itself. thanks for input
