it is true that a lot of animals are under 200yards. but dont count on it. our hunting season just ended and of the about 50 heads of game i took i would say about 10-15 were under 200yards. not much will beat the good old 30-06 for an all rounder over here. 30-06's with 150grn's are very popular with local hunters.

a friend of mine, owns a butchery that is well known for it's venison, uses a 270 with Game king 130grn on everything from sringbok to eland.


I might hunt too much, but it is still not enough!
