On my Leopard hunt in Zim last year (unsuccessful due to dry late season) I took a Pre-64 M70 Super Grade in .375 H&H. This rifle is topped with a Leupold VX5HD 3-15x44, and I was planning to use 270gr Core-Lokts. The Core-Lokts shoot about a 1/2" higher at 100yds vs the 300gr TBBC or A-Frames...

Welcome ... hope you enjoy your honeymoon and who knows, maybe you can sneak a day or two of hunting in. There's some great wing shooting in South Africa.
I've had several bang flops from heart shots they include
1) 44mag Revolver on a Mountain Lion - from the ground in a tree with a frontal chest shot.
