Thanks John, maybe that will get me closer to a gun I've desired but couldn't rationalize, the 318WR.
On my one trip to Africa 40yrs ago I was the last booked hunt. The lodge was a gatherings place for several PHs from the surrounding area. I remember three things distinctly:
1.They lamented the demise of the 318WR.
2. They really didn't like the 300 mags. It wasn't because they were not good. It was because they weren't needed and because of the hunters using them. Most couldn't handle them.
3. Most hunters would be better off using the 30-06 they left at home.
Thanks for your help, captdavid

"It's not how hard you hit 'em, it's where you hit 'em." The 30-06 will, with the right bullet, successfully take any game animal in North America up to 300yds.

If you are a hunter, and farther than that, get closer!
