The .30-06 with 180 Partitions works fine both close and farther away. Used one to take this Cape kudu at 375 yards in 2002, which standing well up a mountainside above me. The bullet broke the near shoulder about halfway up the body, and then went through the bottom of the spine and the top of the far shoulder, ending up under the hide.
While not as large as regular kudu, this bull still weighed 500 pounds on the landowner's cattle scales. The handload had a muzzle velocity around 2750 fps. The scope was a 3-9x36 Swarovski AV, which if I recall correctly stayed on 6x the entire time--also taking a bushbuck at around 70 yards in the thick valley cover.
thank you for that information i hope to shoot a Kudu down in the low S.E. Africa thru Tam Outfitters . unless i win the lottery this will be my only African hunt ever. Pete53
