Sure the experience and the memories are far more important than the inches....but, hey, you ever want the biggist fish in the lake, right ? ))))))
I made the mistake to have the .300 loaded with superlight German 154grs copper bullets, which travel at nearly 3600 fps, because I choosed the range for the weight.
African game is really hard, not even one one shot kill with this light bullets.
On these ranges I hunted the 220grs Hornady RN would be the best choice.
The Blue Wildebeest needed 4 shots. 4. In words: four.
The Zebra was running nearly a mile with a high lung shot. This was a little tricky, Gentlemen, to find it before the lions got it.
Although lions are rare in this area, they come sometimes from the Botswana borderline and hunt in Limpopo area.
