I think, with the right bullets in the right area, a 6.3X62 or 6.3x64 could do it all.
Baring that, a .375 would suffice.
Stopping guns, no, but hunting guns extraordinaire - for someone who can shoot, of course.

Me thinks you have fat thumbs for typing, like me, or have had a glass too many of the good drop. Would it be 9.3 not 6.3

LOL - I typed 9.3 - I thought. "Could have been the whisky, might have been the gin, could have been the 3 or 4 six-packs, I don't know, but look at the mess I'm in. My head's like a football, I think I'm gonna die, tell me, me oh me oh my, wasn't THAT a party!"

Good thread to reopen. Yes in addition to the good guys on NE today,we need some of these and others over the last 23 years or so to return and join in again. Gentlemen, forget ffffing faecesbook.

OK, I'll chime in.

Plains game only. Three trips to South Africa. Hunting in the bushveld in the northern Limpopo Province.

2000
.375 H&H, 300 gr Hornady round nose bullet (Ruger M77 Magnum rifle)

2002
.30-06, 220 gr Woodleigh round nose (Ruger M77 MkII rifle)

2005
8x57JS, 220 gr Woodleigh round nose (Remington 700 Classic rifle)
9.3x62, 286 gr Woodleigh round nose (CZ 550 American rifle)
I primarily used the 9.3x62 rifle. I did take a couple of Impala and a couple of Warthogs with the 8x57.

Admittedly based on this small sample size, the 9.3x62 quickly became my favorite.

All loads were handloads. Why did I use heavy, round nose bullets in all of the loads? I just wanted to do it the old fashioned way. I was VERY happy with the performance of the Woodleigh bullets.

Cheers! Bob F.

Good to see you again Bob! It's been a while I think?
