just how good the trackers were.

I took my 338win mag to Africa both times I went. I t is great for all plains game. I shoot 225gr Swift A-Frames over 71gr IMR4350 and a Fed215 primer. Never had to chase any animal I shot. I strongly suggest using the 338Win Mag.

Quite a number-257R,25-06, 257W,30-06,338Fed,338Win mag,6.5X55,264wi mag,6.5X300W,7-08,308win. I have taken game with all of them. Some in Africa and some in different states of the USA. All have been one shot kills with little to no tracking.

I have seen that with the tsx bullets. I use the TTSX or LRX and have never had that happen. The tip makes the difference.

They work well and I have taken a number of animals with the TTSX and LRX bullets. Push them fast for accuracy and terminal performance. Also set them deep for accuracy. They need bullet jump. I seat mine so the top relief groove is just showing---No crimp. That said I still prefer the Swift...

Electric make better ones.

I took mine on both trips and everything I shot died on the spot. I took Steenbock to Eland. If you like it and shoot it well take it. I used Fed215 primer, 71grs of IMR4350 and a 225gr Swift A-frame.

Hunted SA twice. No need for a pack. I wear the binos and carry my rifle. I have 10 more rounds on the butt stock. The tracker carried water. I usually left my camera(large one) in the truck and carried a small one in one of my pockets. Sometimes I stuck a few hard candies in my pocket.

I had to push my 67 Mustang when I blew up the rear end. I was by myself. Glad the tow truck got there soon. Also glad I had a spare at the house.

I had a poly choke on my bolt actions shotgun when I was a kid.
