Is this just before a safari or between safaris? For example I will use my .375 on pigs and maybe goats as practice for the safari which might be a couple years away.

One of these hunts could have involved shooting several hundred rounds in the good old days.

If I am hunting plains game I will practice a lot more with my .30-06 than with a .375 or a .450. Say a couple hundred rounds with a .30-06 compared to say 50 to 100 rounds with a .375 and probably well less than 50 with the .450.

I would also shoot several hundred rounds through my .22 and .22 Magnum reinforcing the reload at the shoulder, not bringing the rifle down to reload. Also snap shooting and practice shooting as soon as the reticle hits the target.
