In the 7-08 I shot the 120 Barnes TTSX on impala, warthog and blesbok, all DRT just about. The kudu and gemsbok were shot with the 270 Winchester using Sako factory 156 Hammerheads that separated on both shots (75 and 50 yards). Both animals dropped at the shot, both needed finishers. John, I've always shot 180 grain bullets in 308's and 30-06's, I wanted to bring a 375 Ruger and a 35 Whelen but my injuries precluded it. I'd rather be overgunned than undergunned, especially when you pay for game when you draw blood whether it's recovered or not. Just being in Africa made me feel like I should be using a 375 H&H.
