[QUOTE="judgebill, post: 2339084, member: 101611"] [B]Back when I began reading about guns (I joined the NRA in 1948) the 30-06 was the go-to rifle for just about everything. If you were going to Africa you definitely needed a .375 H&H. My first hi-power rifle was the venerable, and still useful .30-06. When the 7mm Rem Mag came along I bought one. Then I decided I "needed" a .300 Wby Mag to be really effective. When I had a chance to go to Africa (1993) I did buy a .375 H&H and shot everything (plains game) with that. Had so much fun with the .375 I used it in North America for moose, elk, caribou and bear. Fast forward to a couple years ago and I realized what I now needed was a .338 Lapua Magnum. Love it. But wait a minute...nothing changed in the animals and I continue to refuse to take a shot farther than 300 to maybe 400 yards. Okay, I'm "old fashioned" and "conservative". But I have to confess to buying into the changing theories of large-caliber hunting. But remember, the critters haven't changed. [/B] [/QUOTE]
