Re: The BEST African plains game calibre

For the first trip, the one that you shoot the best.
Most of us don't go to Africa every year, so when we go it is something special. A strange place, animals that you've never hunted before, a PH at your side and trackers watching over your shoulder. It all adds up to a new unsettling experience, having "old Faithful" in your hands makes that first shot a lot easier.

The second time you'll use a 375 H&H because it's what old time Africa hunters like you always use.

The third time you will use a big double rifle because that's what the PH's use.

The fourth time you'll take the rifle that you shoot the best.

For me it was:

#1 30-06 and 375 H&H ( I was hunting Buffalo in addition to plains game) in M-70's.

#2 375 H&H - Krieghof double

#3 next year - I'm not sure maybe a 7X57
