[BobS]

257 AI 110 AB
338/06 AI 225 AB
475 Linebaugh 420 grain Monolithic

I know, light, and needs correct placement of the shot, but the 475 for a backup is proven poison, with quick 5 shots for those able to master it, and handle any threat.

.303Brit out of SXS SLE
.404J out of a bolt

My Africa list changes with the wind and the seasons. But I think these will cover everything I would intend to hunt today,...I like the bigger cartridges. For me, the benefit outweighs the recoil.

Today:
- 340 Weatherby
- 416 Rigby
- 500 N.E.
