[QUOTE="gillettehunter, post: 1724443, member: 25760"] I just got back from a trip to Africa. Hunted RSA and Zambia. Took my 7mm SAUM. 180 gr Berger hunting bullet at 2900 fps. Bartlien 1 in 8 twist barrel. Between me and my buddy we killed 16 animals with that bullet. That included Cape eland at 476 yds and 511 yds. Both 1 shot kills. Also a Pattersons eland at 75 yds. Hit him in the shoulder and he went 75 yds and I hit him again as he started getting wobbly. All of the rest were 1 shot kills. Including a Lechwe bull and 3 Cookstons Hartebeast. Every PH wanted to know about the rifle and bullet we were using. They just flat worked. You'll get the same results with the 7 mm mag. A .28 Nosler I might step up to the 195 gr. Bruce [/QUOTE]
