[QUOTE="Jerry M, post: 1323050, member: 6330"] I killed: Blue Wildebeest, Kudu, Gembock, Impala, Zebra, Warthogs, Diker, Baboon all with a .30-06 Sp and 180 grain Nosler Partition. All one shot kills. The only animal that ran any distance was the Zebra, shot was too far back. A .375 is not necessary for these animals. Although on my second trip I took a Lioness and Cape Buffalo with a .375 H&H. But in retrospect the bullet I used was too hard for the Lioness, but perfect for the Cape Buffalo. It is important to learn the anatomy of the animal you plan on hunting. Buy the book [U]Perfect Shot Placement for African Game[/U] by Kevin Roberson. There is a significant difference in the location of the vital organs on African animals, than say a black bear, deer, or elk. It is amazing to sit in a blind near a waterhole and see a variety of animals from a Rhinoceros to a Baboon come in to drink. Good luck Jerry [/QUOTE]
