[QUOTE="DENWA, post: 901944, member: 12492"] My last post on this topic. In the last 30 yrs I've hunted the world, we'll leave it at that. In April the guys and I will be headed for our next hunting trip to the African Continent. I have never taken a single shot there less than 330yds (375H&H on a Warthog using a 260gr. Accubond) and my longest was 780yds which was an unsuccessful shot on a Baboon swinging between trees in the high country. (Though a Cape is on the wishlist this trip the Lott is staying in the closet) What is the 500yd Impact velocity of a 300WM pushing a 208gr A-MAX at 2800fps at 4000ft of elevation? The species was Blesbok, similar in size and build to a whitetail, shot hit about 3" farther back from the shoulder than I'd liked to see. Simply awful scene that seemed to repeat itself at everyone's expense. (BTW-- the VLD Hunting did not fare much better in similar situations) Even an upper heart shot using the 200gr Accubond (which mushroomed text-book) did not stop my second Kudu from Running 300yds UP-Hill! Now those are some tough dudes! I am always a student. I cannot wait to test the Accubond LR's (also wish they'd just make them in Bigger bores!) [/QUOTE]
