Just for some clarification on African minimums for DG: Of 12 countries where commercial hunting is permitted, 3 specify a .375 caliber with no minimum KE.
South Africa: no minimum for most provinces, and .375 for some provinces. No minimum for KE.
Namibia: 5400 joules (4000 ft-lbs) for DG and 2700 joules for LG (2000 ft-lbs).
Cameroon: .354 caliber with no minimum KE.
Some have appealed to the .375 H&H as minimum for African DG. That's obviously not so. For the countries that state .375 it's caliber with no minimum in kinetic energy. Plus the 9.3 x 62 has been used to kill every African game animal, including eles, and is legal in most countries for that purpose. It quite easily makes over 5400 joules when handloaded.
