Re: .318 Westley Richards vs .333 Jeffery

Nice Wilderbeast mate.

The iron sights mentioned. Were you using the express leaf, that is up, or the cocking piece Peep ?

Afro



The boltdiopter(cockingpiece) was scrolled down. I used the 100meter expressleaf, by aiming a little higher. I was for a moment thinking of using the 200m leaf, but the shot I did was done in unknown area, to an unknown size of animal, so if I missed with the 100meter leaf, I would have some indication how far the animal was from me.
The peepsight or boltdiopter, is good for shooting at moving game I think.

I now have a problem: Should I take my .333Jeffery to Africa again or should I try my 400/350Rigby, which I haven`t shot before?. I know I would have to practice with the ol` rigby, but ofcouse it shouldn`n make any difference for/on the animals to get stung with either a 300grain Jeffery bullet or a 310grain Rigbybullet.
