Re: The 6 Best Dangerous Game Cartridges

Ahh - these aren't too bad, as they at least give room for discussion with otions in the title.

The articles I detest most vehemently are those entitled:

"The last(or final) word on defense guns"
"The last(or final) word on dangerous game ctgs."
"The last(or final) word on big game rifles"
"The last(or final) word on open sights for dangerous game"

A "late" gun magazine writer with the initials J.W. who had been to Africa once of twice used to write articles entitled like these.




I agree--- THE BEST RIFLE EVER.. THE BEST DEER CALIBER..THE BEST ELK CALIBER..

Such BS, is what it's best at..

I do agree with some of his info..IF I was limited to one caliber to hunt all of Africa with I'd choose the .416 Rem.. stating that based on my 6 hunts in Africa.. It is still relatively flat shooting.. hits hard enough to drop buff or elephant on the spot and recoil is very manageable..

I also agree, when it comes to Buff, the 375H&H would certainly NOT be my first or even second.. It will certainly get the job done, but NOT like a .416..not even close.. 375H&H makes a great all around gun for PG and if you bump into something that wants to eat/kill you while doing so..

My experience anyway..
