I think it's smart to ask yourself some serious questions when you consider various cartridges for African dangerous game use.

What draws you to your list of prospective chamberings in the first place?

Is this an exercise in nostalgia, or are you motivated by the pleasure of using something off-beat, obsolete, semi-obsolete, or just plain different? Is it an effort to achieve acceptable results with less recoil?

Objectively, are you being logistically smart, when there many other more well-established, more modern (or better updated) choices available that'll get the same jobs done just as well or better, with far less hassle, greater ammo, brass, and bullet availability, etc.

It's best to think all of these issues through very seriously before you make your purchase.......
