[QUOTE="ZAR LRH, post: 1887002, member: 86870"] I grew up in South Africa, culled and hunted a lot and also guided when I was younger. Most important thing to note is the difference in kill zones between N.American and African game and based on the feedback of some of the guys that I guided is that some game are tougher. My recommendation would be the Nosler Accubond as long as you ensure that the distances that shoot will result in the bullet expanding. If ranges exceed that of the Accubond, I would firstly suggest something bigger (7mm or 300) and then ELDx (can't comment on the LR Accubonds), but wouldn't use them at shorter range. The 6.5 is a very capable caliber, but my recommendation would always be, shoot the biggest caliber you can shoot accurately and straight. The best bullet is worth nothing if you can't hit what you are suppose to hit, so always make sure about your shot placement, especially if you use the 6.5 on bigger game. Enjoy. [/QUOTE]
