CHAPTER2
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR HUNTING METHODS
Minimum bullet weights for rifle hunting

4. (1) The minimum bullet weights for rifie hunting for the respective categories of wild and alien
animals are the following-

(c) 6.6 g. (100gr.) bullet for hunting furred game larger than the species contemplated in subparagraphs
(1)(b}(i) and (1)(b)(ii), up to and Including the size of impala, warthog, blesbuck,
common reedbuck and nyala ewes;

(d) 8.4 g. (130gr.) buUet for hunUng furred game larger than the species contemplated in subparagraph
(1)(c), up to and including the size of black wildebeest. tsessebe, nyala bulls and
hartebeest;

(e) 9.9 g. (150gr.) bullet for hunting furred game larger_ than the species contemplated in subparagraph
(1 )(d), up to and including the size of blue wildebeest, kudu, gemsbuck, sable, roan and
leopard;






How bureaucratic to have EIGHT different categories!

Note also to hunt nyala, a 100 gr bullet is OK for a ewe but if you want to hunt a bull, a 130 gr bullet is needed.

Also the fine .270 with a 130gr or a 7x57 with a 140 gr is no longer capable of taking a kudu or gemsbok ....

Snoobabery at its best. Did the hunting associations play any part in these lists?
