CR, you might get away legally with the 'Big-Bore' somewhere, but that may not make the Africa project a good idea. I suppose the 375 Win might be OK for leopards but I wouldn't want to try it on buffalo or elephant.

I've had one of these rifles almost as long as Daryl but it only gets taken after pigs - and sambar when my boys grab the 338 and .30/06. It is considered a marginal proposition for sambar though the guy who sold it to me said he'd shot a hind at 200 metres with it.

It's a nice little rifle but selling back into America would hardly make sense.

I've bought some Reloader 7 powder and hope to cobble up some 250-grain-or-heavier ammo for the big deer and would appreciate hints on the best bullet or load.

I think its replacement, the 356 Win, is more powerful. How the later, side-eject 94 action handles a cartridge almost a rimmed equivalent of the 358 Win is something I'd like to hear explained, however.

Cheers
- Paul
