Re: Best plains game calibre for Africa? Poll

Though many, or all of the cartridges listed will do if everything is perfect. This even includes Dangerous game like Cape Buffalo, and Lion! IF everything is perfect!

I voted for the 375 H&H, for a couple reasons, #1 it will take care of anything that walks, with the right shot placement, and bullet. #2 if one knows his rifle, it will take care of anything at a reasonable range most often seen in Africa, and still have something left at that range. It doesn't destroy meat, the way hot rock 3000 FPS plus rounds do. And on top of that, I usually use a chambering that will handle the biggest, and baddest thing in the pasture I'm hunting, regardless what I'm actually hunting! As some one said, you never know what is behind the next thorn tree! If I'm hunting wildebeast, and run into the animal that is hunting wildebeast, I'm covered! It doesn't make any difference how many rifles you take to Africa, the one you have in your hands when you meet old QWATALI, is the one you are stuck with! So my plains game rifle is always something that will handle anything I may encounter! "What ch thank?"
