Hi All
I'm new here. Looking to start hunting small game in the near future. What caliber should I look at?
Thank you

Greetings Asankaa,

Khomas Highland Hunting Safaris of Namibia, welcomes you to the greatest forum on earth.

What variety / species of small game are you interested in ?
Most can be taken humanely with small bore shotgun and / or .22 rim fire .

Otherwise as Mr. spike.t suggested, that .505 Gibbs you posted pictures of for sale and described in great detail, will be just right for at least gopher and squirrel hunting.

Best Regards,
Velo Dog.

Welcome aboard!

Define "small game" for the caliber recommendations you are looking for. In general, at least in the US, for small game you are talking about .22-250, .243, .25-06, maybe .270

Welcome to AH. Small game where!? We talking rabbit or African plains game?
 
.22 rimfire is a great starter. Please expound on your name and where you are from and what you do instead of hunting currently
 
Welcome! Nothing like AH for information and getting people on their way to Africa.

Jerome, do you think my last post in rough camping must maybe shift as an article?

Good afternoon,

I'm trying to get in contact with Mr Butch Searcy. I have the opportunity to buy one of his rifles chambered in 577 nitro Express however the seller does not have any of the paperwork with the information about what ammunition or bullet weight was used to regulate it. I know he is not making firearms anymore but I wanted to reach out after seeing one of your post about him.

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl
