[QUOTE="Scott E Ames, post: 1877607, member: 60439"] To add to the caliber talk above. I was hunting Klipspringer in the mountains with my 243 WSSM and as we returned the PH stopped us and said "Wish you had your 7 mag ! I see the biggest red Hartebeest I have ever seen over there. Long story/short. One 300 yard 95 grain partition went in in front of the right hip and exited the left shoulder after breaking the spine. We measured 33 inches of complete penetration on that animal. Dropped him like the proverbial cut string puppet. MORAL Just use a well constructed bullet that you and your rifle shoot well. [/QUOTE]
