Re: Calibers for Africa- Members' survey

Quote:

Favourite would depend on the circumstances. Is the plains game hunting conducted during a dangerous game hunt as well? Then my answer would be different.

First my simple choice for the survey is:

1. 8x68S
2. .450 NE

But not for the survey but as part of a discussion if plains game is hunted along with dangerous game, I would choose:

.375 H&H Mag
.450 NE

The above allows redunancy. If the double is not being held, th .375 will work fine. If a scoped shot is needed, the .375 is also available.






Agree with the 375 for a plains game hunt when in/on a Dangerous game area such as in Zim or Tanzania..will never go on a plains game hunt again in such and area without a .375 or similar..

Having said that, the combo I have shown of 300 RUM and 416 Rem I used have accounted for 72 head of game in Africa..so it works..at least by my standards..this was over 4 hunts and about 3 months in Africa total..which is soon to increase..
