Seems to me an awful lot of guys are using 375's and 416's to shoot EVERYTHING. I mean I don't think I've seen light rifle in use yet. It all seems like 375....375....375 LOL!


Bob,

We, my three son's and I, on two trips 11 years apart have swatted an awful lot of plains game up through eland using the 7x57 (160 gr AB), 8x57 (180 gr BT), 358 Win (200 gr TTSX) and 9.3x62 (250 original X) with DRT results. I will head for buff/sable next year with a 416 Rem M70. I realize my M70 375 H&H might make more sense but I bought the 416 years ago to hunt a buff some day and so I will. grin
