Yes, I'm quite bitten and already planning my next trip and my plan is to take my pre64 model 70 300 H&H using 180 grin TSX hopefully for Kudu, wildebeest,hartebeest and whatever trips my trigger that presents itself. I would feel perfectly comfortable carrying an 30 06 as well.


My 300 H&H load for the 180 TTSX is only running 2910fps. Not much faster than a modern 30-06 load. I went with the H&H for the panache. Never intended to try and hotrod it. That is what a Weatherby or RUM would be for, if so desired.

You will not be disappointed in the performance.
