It doesn't take long, one day they're knee high to a grasshopper, you blink an eye and they're looking at you, eye level, 6 feet tall, and then some.
And you wonder, "did they have as much fun as I did"?

KillerBee.....7mmRem Mag. Thanks for your reply JG. Question for you: Is there anything in Africa that your 7mmRem Mag cannot kill in Africa? Cheers ~

Well, I've killed near 60 animals in Africa, but never eland or bigger. I know it's plenty enough for all of the others, especially with that 160 AB. I'm sure other stout bullets would work as well. I wouldn't be scared to shoot an eland with it though.

I wouldn't be scared to shoot an eland with it though. I do believe that it would hammer and put down a properly shot Eland, NO PROBLEM. I built this rifle for Africa, people said it wasn't enough rifle it is a .300 Win Mag. I do believe that are misguided and they either think too much, or do not know how to shoot! Which is why I asked my initial question. Thank you for your insight JG. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/Z8IZTLh.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/721uIKI.jpg)

Nice rifle Killer. I hunted with Kowas Safaris in Namibia 5 times. They run a first rate outift. One of their loaner camp guns is a Remington 700 300Win Mag. It will kick ass in Africa, no sweat.

Thanks JG, I shoot Nosler Trophy Grade ABLRs in 180 gr, out of it. I replaced the factory barrel with a Wilson Match Grade Contour #3 and have it shooting Sub MOA <.25 at 100 yards. Maybe you can give me advise on who I can book with? Cheers ~
