Yes, .308 or -06 does the job for neck shots. In fact both calibres do the job on buffalo if one uses correct appropriate loads and places the...
30.06 and 300WM are both good calibres, but I honestly think (based on 20 years' use) that the .338WM is the best all round African rifle save...
I half agree with Foxi. Unprovoked attacks are very rare; however they do happen from time to time, so one needs to be mindful. "Provoked"...

I have also had some bad experiences with Nosler partitions, especially when used at relatively high velocities and relatively close range. For...

Save for small animals (like springbuck), the majority of heart shot animals will either jump upwards and then bolt or simply bolt. Sometimes they...
.308 is an excellent all round cartridge for all African game up to the size of Kudu , BWB, etc. It can be used on heavier game, but then range,...
