A new plains game rifle

[Cally]

Who told you a 6.5x55 with a 130-grain TSX has limited use overseas?

I understand the minimum calibre for most species in Namibia is 7mm. I am specifically looking at hunting larger plains game.

The larger PG animals (like eland) are best had with a mid-bore. You will not be disappointed with the performance of your 375H&H with 300 grain Barnes TSX. Keep it simple. Especially since you shoot it so well.

If you shoot your .375 well, then there is no reason to change.

If you would like a rifle chambered in a smaller cartridge, I would recommend a .30/06.

(a .30/06 is never wrong)


A .300 Win Mag would be fine too, and will shoot a little flatter, but there is not quite as much factory ammo available.

My answer was also going to be .300 Win Mag, but if that's not allowed in the UK I would go the 7mm Rem Mag
