[QUOTE="BTL, post: 1568023, member: 20912"] [ATTACH]121201[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]121202[/ATTACH] I have only been to South Africa once and I brought my 338WM and my brother brought his 375 H&H. Our PH provided a suppressed 270 for all of his clients to use on everything accept animals that require a minimum bullet diameter according to their laws. The PH did not offer dangerous game hunts due to not owning a proper caliber rifle. Our PH rarely had clients bring their own rifles so the poor guy and our trackers kept forgetting to plug their ears when we shot our unsuppressed rifles. My brother and I took about 12 plains animals and I also shot a handful of vervet monkies. After seeing the results of my brothers shot on a blue wildebeest with his 375 our PH decided that he would purchase one for himself. Only 2 animals took more than 1 shot to go down. I put three Barnes 225 TTSX into my second gemsbock and my brother put three 300gn rounds into an impala. That was one tough little impala! Our PH used a 270 for everything up until hunting with my brother and I. Now if his clients can tolerate the recoil of his new 375 H&H, that gets the nod on taking larger game. Just to recap, our PH had his clients shoot a 270 for years to shoot everything up until my brother and I showed up with our rifles. BTL [/QUOTE]
