Don't buy another rifle, use that money for more trophy fees!!!!

Not an African hunter. But, taking the gun you can deliver with and close the deal with is the way to go. My experience with the .338WM and .340 Wby, to me they kicked too much. Both of mine went down the road.

Check out JG'g 7RM experience using 160 NAB's. NPT's or TSX/TTSX's would probably work as well. His rifle liked NAB's best. Partitions are his personal favorite, generally.
