Hope to make a trip to Africa - likely take my M70, 30-06.
Haven't shot anything with it yet - maybe this fall, we'll see.

I use the same load. I'd happily hunt anything in Australia and North America with it, if that's all I had.





I've also shot a fair bit of stuff in Australia with the 06 and when loaded with the Nosler Partition it is very accurate and kills very, very well.
