I'd take the 375 H&H loaded with 270 gr TSX's at 2750 fps, it would be good practice in case you ever want to go to Africa and shoot some more really large antelope, plains game species. smile

I'd probably try the 250 TTSX, have both bullets and both kill stuff.

I don't even have a .223 AI... grin


Mudhen,

Some of those Texican guides do insist on .300 Win Mag or above, sniff at light ordinance.

You start off on the wrong foot telling your guide you know better, even if you really do. Especially if you really do...

Them boys got it figured in their minds and don't like to be told or suggested otherwise...

Bet the 250 TTSX's would be just fine too DF, thou must redeemith thyself at the "Alter of The Poohbah" for a fast twist 223 AI. grin

Fast twist .22-204 and .22-250 will have to do.

Almost had the Poobs looking at the .22-204, sniffing and scratching the leaves; he even made some complementary comments. But, I'm thinking he probably reverted back to his comfort zone... cool

When the Poobs is convinced of something, it's not an easy task to convince him otherwise, even if it makes sense... blush

Especially if it makes sense... grin
