[QUOTE="edward hogan, post: 1752056, member: 1341"] Have never hunted Africa, but do understand that clearing customs with a rifle which has ammunition not headstamped to match the chambering can be problematic; like prohibited. This is why guys taking a .338-06 to Africa pay the $1 per piece of brass or $65/box for .338-06 Weatherby Brass or A-Square brass loaded ammunition. But what the heck? Nothing like the extra stress of importing a wildcat on your Trip Of A Lifetime! Got other rifles can take? Talk to your pro hunter and get their advice. Sounds like a great setup, but won't a .300wby deliver about the same performance? Or be sure and go with a .340wby and load partitions or accubonds. .375ruger is an all-in-one sort of solution. Nothing wrong with heavier bullets on plains game, and you get a velocity advantage over the H&H. Get a Ruger Safari with the 24" barrel and you're set! Integral scope base and tough rings, carry the backup peep sight and maybe a 1-4x for dangerous game and a 4-14x for big deer and wildebeast. Find out about your wildcat before you blow up your trip... There's gonna be enough to stress about... [/QUOTE]
