Thoughts on "marginal" chamberings for African DG.
20/02/08 01:31 PM

I'd enjoy hearing people's thoughts on the following list of chamberings and their potential on Dangerous Game in Africa (up to and including Cape Buffalo):

9.3x66 Sako (aka 370 Sako Mag.)
9.3x70 Expert Magnum
9.5x66 Vom Hofe Super Express
411 Hawk
10.75x68 Mauser

I realize quite a few folks will categorize all of these as marginal for DG applications. I can't help but think, though, that with modern powders and bullets, one could develop legitimate loads in each of these for African DG. Another appealing thing is the versatility factor, especially with the first three. Could definitely load these "down" and use on plainsgame which would be a plus if you're hunting a combination of species.

I also realize that shot placement plays the most significant role so I see no need to re-hash this.

Thanks in advance.
