Thanks for the feedback.
As a general answer-
temp was around 35 C (95 F),we were hit by episodes of
tropical storms but generally sunny days-very humid.
The 338 Win is a rifle my mate Peter has owned for many years.It is a standard push feed Mod 70,firing PMC
factory 225 Blue covered Barnes (?XLC).The rifle allways
gives a good account of itself-no,it was not a one shot kill but neither were any of mine with the 500 Nitro.
A commonly held view is that our buff a little less savage than Cape buff but on average larger and tend to be a bit more solidly constructed.Peter & his rifle took a Cape buff in the Zambezi Valley in 1991.
