I used that caliber and bullet on an Alaskan coastal black bear. Killed it DRT. Used 165 gr. Nosler solid base on 3 caribou with 300 RUM. Again, they worked great too.
BTW: I have a break on my 300 RUM. Yes, it's loud, but makes my RUM shoot like a .243. Best $145 I ever spent. And, that's what they make ear plugs for.. If I go to Africa, I'll have lots to pass out to the PH and trackers.
Before you just take it with you, I'd ask the PH what he thinks about muzzle brakes. I'm no expert on Africa but I do know most PH's and trackers don't like them, and it's not reasonable for them to have to put in plugs every time you shoot, or that they would have time or remember each time.
