I’ve a .243, 6.5CM, 7-08 and a .358.......
Given the light rifle and minimal mag box, I’d vote CM all day long.
LOTS of great factory ammo that shoots lights out and is reasonable $$.
If you reload....CM gives you all the mag box without deep seating issues.
I think I have five elk with the Creed and two more with the .260.... no problem.
IF you get a chance to hunt Africa, as you stated. Just buy, borrow or rent a larger rifle, but take the CM too!
