For what it's worth - I know one Zambian PH who argued with the same problem a couple years ago. After his gunsmith toyed with the the 9.x64 (on his pre-64 M-70) and could not reliably get better performance with it than the 9.3x62 they decided to go with the 375 Ruger. He loves it and I'll bet that shortly in the future the 375 Ruger will be a lot easier to find in most African countries than the 9.3x64.

Anyone who claims the 30-06 is not effective has either not used one, or else is unwittingly commenting on their marksmanship.
