[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 282505, member: 4885"] What are you planning on hunting in Africa? Some of the larger game requires larger calibers (338 and up), but most of the smaller plains game can be easily taken with a 7mm. Remember, most game in Africa is taken at just a couple hundred yards, seldom over 400. If I was going after Large and/or dangerous game in Africa, I'd get a control round feed 375H&H and call it good! For plains game, I'd use my 7mmRM. For Elk at long range, the 338 RUM is a great round, but does have a tendency to kick a bit :D. The 300RUM is also a phenomenally flat shooting round. The 300RUM doesn't provide the barrel life that the 338 does though. AJ [/QUOTE]
