[QUOTE="epoletna, post: 1669511, member: 87371"] I shot a fair amount of plains game, and some dangerous game, while in Tanzania in the early seventies. I was using a 7mm Rem Mag and a .375 H&H magnum. With the 7mm bullets available 40 years ago, the 7mm Rem Mag was not as reliable on larger plains game like zebra as what you are describing. I made good lung shots on several zebras that still managed to run for miles. With the .375, I generally dropped zebra where they were and often recovered the bullet under the skin on the far side. The .375 did well on Cape buffalo with 300 grain solids, and I never tried the 7 on them. I thought about it, using pulled German solid round nose bullets, but never did so. A professional hunter I talked to about it thought the German solids would do a fine job from the 7 Rem Mag. There were no ABLR bullets in the early seventies. I sure wish there had been, although I had a couple boxes of Nosler partitions to reload during my time there. [/QUOTE]
