[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1036241, member: 30902"] I'd say you are asking a whole lot here. Probably want to stick to the 7mm-08 for the small stuff and just look at the 300 Rum and 338wm for the big game and choose between them. I have both and with heavy bullets the Rum can be a real bruiser especially if you look at bullets like the Swift A Frame, Nosler Partition or hornady's dangerous game bullets. If recoil is a consideration then stick with either the 300wm or 338wm. You might be well advised to talk to some experienced buffalo hunters or outfitters in Australia to see what they recommend. I know in most of Africa they'd laugh you off at the idea of shooting anything smaller than the 375 H&H at their buffalo but as I understand it the water buffalo you'd be hunting are not nearly as difficult to bring down. I suspect that either of the 30 cals you mention would be adequate but as always the guys with real experience doing what you are talking about doing are going to be the best source of info. [/QUOTE]
