I took a .30/06 to Namibia in 2000 and killed five critters with five shots. I used 180-grain Fail-Safes at 2700. What more could you want? Some African game is tougher than others. Kudu drop if you breathe some bad breath at them, but roan and sable can take a real pounding, as can some of the smaller antelope. But shoot good and they all go down.
