I agree. But . 400+ for plain game only by one rifle safaris, if you hunt big game too!





Excellent point...I see way TOOOOOO many people going hunting with guns in Africa that are in my opinion too small if you get in a sticky situation with say a tuskless elephant or bad natured buff bull...you never know--might have been wounded, snared, who knows..know of 2 cases in particular that ended in the deathts of said individuals that happened must in 2005 alone...

As to the 340 not having enough power for eland--disagree...have seen .340's used on a variety of game along with .338 Ultra's which are very similar in performance...I personally shot a elk looking at me at about 250 yards--hit directly in the chest and excited below the anus --with a hole about the size of a softball..needless to say, dropped to the shot...I personally shot a large bull this past year using a 200 gr A-Frame--ran about 40 yards and tipped over...again, IMHO, shot placement is far more crucial than the size of the bat .ie; .Mr. Weatherby himself shot a buff bull using only a .257 Weatherby...Bell used the .275...etc....

Thanks

Ripp
