If you ever get a chance, read Keith's book SAFARI, written after his first African trip. He used a .333 OKH with really bad 300-grain softpoints as his light rifle, and they often wouldn't even exit Thompson gazelles weighing maybe 60 pounds. He reported ALL African game was "as tough as an old gum boot," which is no doubt one of the reasons so many hunters who've never even seen Africa consider plains game far tougher than any big game in North America.
