    Top 5 plains game?

    pretty late to the party - but here goes. Guess I'll be headed to Tanzania for most of my list. Always had a great intrigue for the Gerenuk, Grant's Gazzelle, the Thompson, and the Lesser Kudu. Then to be honest, I'd have to head south and round out the list with Mr. Nyala

    .270 Winchester – 130 gr Nosler Partitions

    don't have a .270 in the closet - but a whole raft of 7mm's, including a .280 ( .277 vs .284 - 130 gr vs 140 gr) so splitting hairs, there Our opinion - the good old partition is still one of the best hunting bullets for NA. Covers all the bases - pretty much guaranteed expansion and usually...

    ZIMBABWE: Chirundu, Zimbabwe: (Wet) Dreams On The Zambezi River

    Enjoying your play by play report so far - looking forward to more ... Thought I was the only guy on the whole forum that still has a 7mm SAUM hiding in the closet. Underated calibre that tends to be very accurate, one that never caught on. Interesting load choice for the Leopard. Will be...

    30-06...again

    You really seem to be hung up on the numbers - the velocity and expansion with the mono metal bullets. And fair enough - that can be an issue. Simple solution and peace of mind for you - go to a premium bonded or lead core bullet, like a Partion, Accubond, A-frame or half a dozen others...

    Sample of what the 358 Win can handle

    Hey Bob - pretty much what we are seeing outta the .35 cal accubonds - text book killers. Wholeheartedly agree with your comments. I'm having a bit of a hard time with the mention of Accubond failures - woulda liked to have seen that Safari for myself - however we'll have to take the word of...
