[QUOTE="aramarine6, post: 820178, member: 24685"] What ranges do you realistically expect to shoot game at on this trip? ALso keep in mind that the tougher the animal the more the bullet will expand at slower speeds. The barnes videos I have all base their, "expansion velocities" on white tailed deer. Which are usually considered thin skinned game. Hunting out in Africa will probably be medium to heavy skinned game and will allow a slower bullet to expand at a slower speed. Bullet placement and penetration are going to be far more important on a hunt in Africa in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
