I really don't have any irons in this fire, except having 2, 9.3x62's and a .375/06IMP. If I ever go to Africa, I think I will leave them at home and not take a rifle. Maybe I could borrow someone's bow or rifle while over there. I suspect I could afford to spend a few hundred on a rifle and a couple rounds of ammo. That would make packing & paper work for the trip a LOT simpler - less worry some, as well.

I will note my little '06 cased .375 duplicated a friend's BRNO ZKK602(25" bl.) shooting factory 300gr. Winchester Silver Tips.

The WW load form his BRNO chronographed 2,474fps, while mine went 2,472fps. OK - I concede - mine was 2fps slower from my rifle's 26" bl., however, the average as recorded in my loading manual is 2,474fps.

My rifle also runs 270gr. TTSX's at 2,650fps. I reduced the load by 3 gr. as I felt it was a little warm. Actually made me edgie, as the one round with that load I chronographed 2,740fps.

My factory Oberndorf Mauser 9.3x62 did 2,675fps with 270's. Both of these are close enough to factory .375's to being identical - if decent bullets are used, of course.
