A Plains Game hunt is in the future going for various antelope, wildebeast, Kudu, Oryx,Zebra, and Eland.
Other than taking a 375 H&H and shooting them all, any preferences for a 2 rifle battery out of the following selection of bolt rifles?
243,25.06,270,7x57,7mm08,308, 30.06,8x 57, 7 Mag,300WSM,300 ultramag,338 WM,375 H&H,and 416Rem.
Obviously there are multiple equivilent combinations due personal preferences.Considering maximum versitility with varying game size, chance encounters, and wanting a "light" plains game with some "heavier" plains capability--any preferences and why?
I am leaning toward the old standby of the 30.06 and 375H&H vs a 270 and a 338WM. But somehow shooting at a large Eland with a 270(even with premium bullets) seems quite iffy-----
Any additional suggestions?? Why?
