I have gotten to know several African PH’s very well. They all tell the same story. Remember typically their clients shoot their rifles at least daily and sometimes multiple times a day.
Not one has ever seen a client shoot well with a 338 or larger day after day. All say that about a third of 300 Magnum users begin shooting well but that the 300 fellows’ shooting gets worse as the hunt progresses. The other 2/3 never shoot well with their 300’s.
The best shooting generally is done with a 270 or 30/06. One of the best performances was turned in by a 12 YO boy shooting a 260 which his father had down-loaded so the little guy could handle it.
