Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Thoughts on a 6.5 creedmoor for African plains game including eland

I the guy I made 4 hunts with liked his .308 and 300WM (both with 180 Speer Mag Tips) for everything. He liked the 300 in Namibia because it made head shooting farther out a lot easier ( he did alot of culling) This was in '95, right after the Apartheid Sanctions were lifted. At that time, he used a double 12ga and slugs (SA made) for backup on buffalo hunts. He then liked to use Winchester Failsafes and I took him some Barnes 180s on my '98 trip. I took him a 338WM and .375 H&H ( both SS Mod 70s) also on my '98 trip. He retired his 12ga, ha. My 2002 trip I took him a Custom .243 with a 27" barrel for his cull rifle. ( It was formerly a 6x47 that I had converted) and I left him a Whitworth Express .375 as partial hunt payment. It was fun.
