[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 1862374, member: 101791"] 30/06 works just fine. If you are changing to a 338 case neck down to 308. your are not really gaining anything over a 300 win mag or on that line. If changing 06 to 338. Not really gaining much. you can hand load a 30/06 to 220 grains. The two trips I took two Namibia, All shots were under 150 yards from a blind, and rested. Get a triploid that you can go from standing up to sitting down positions. A dam good rifle case. Even then the weather will be warm. Will need a light jack for the morning or late evening. Tell the guide you want only to shot gold level trophies. They don't go by Boone & Crocket rules. I use a 308 Norma Mag first time with 165 grains bullet at 3300 fps, and a 338 Win Mag with 200 grains bullets at 3230 fps. PS. Take a pocket camera with extra batters. Take lots of Pictures.
