[QUOTE="sportmuaythai, post: 796171, member: 17802"] I only have experience with NPt bullets, and I concur that it's very acceptable for all your African plain games, with 300RUM. In fact, it'd be acceptable for all African games except for elephants, Buffs, rhinos, and hippos, if your PH would let you shoot with it. Heck, I shot a beautiful very big lion with 270win, and while it needed 2 shots, it was a very sick lion after the first shot. A 160gr in 7mm Rem mag would have killed it right there. I've killed three elands with 270win also, and didn't find them more difficult to kill than elk. About [COLOR=black]6.5 creedmore, I cannot comment, except that Nyala, gemsbock, and hartebeest seem to be tougher than a caribou. I've been told that zebra is very tough, but had no problem with 270. Shots are normally within 100 yards, particularly with dangerous game, but elusive spiral horns some time can be up to 300 yards away.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
