Re: 9.3s and dangerous game

I'm in the process of reading Teddy Roosevelt's "African Game trails" He spent several months in Africa using three different rifles. The 03 Springfield (30-06), the 95 Winchester (405 Win) and a Holand/Holland 450/500. He shot the majority of the game with the 30-06 including Cape Buffalo, Lion, Elephant, Rino, and even hipo's. Must have been a hell of a marksman as he shot many animals a 300+ yards with iron sights. using mostly full metal jacket military's ammo. The book was written in 1920.
