I respectfully disagree here. If your scope gets knocked-off, you don't want to be trying to get it back on paper and burning a limited amount of ammo. Plan for the worst, TIA.

Granted, I shoot a .300 Jarrett and doubt a wildcat such as this can be found on the continent. I always haul this back home with me and realize that if my ammo doesn't make it, I am borrowing a rifle. My .308 and .416 Rigby ammo was left as part of the tip in Zim and was greatly appreciated. The extra shotgun shells we left in Botswana (back when you could hunt free-range there) was greatly appreciated.

A lot of us take for granted what we can go to the store and purchase today (lipstick for the wife, fishing lures, etc.). For some of these countries, if the natives don't use it, you can't find it. Ammunition in some countries is a precious commodity. Heck, Obama made it like that here for a bit!
