safariman,

If it has to be a belted magnum, I would choose the .257 Weatherby, as I did nearly 30 years ago. A better caliber, with 100 gr. bullets pushed to 3700 fps, is hard to imagine.

My Wby MkV, with its 26" barrel, has accounted for many mulies, as well as other game species, some at very long ranges.


I'd rather be a free man in my grave, than living as a puppet or a slave....
