Can I pick a few brains please ?.
Just thinking about a plains game trip to SA or Namibia. I use a 308 here for my stalking so it would be my first choice of rifle to take due to familiarity and confidence with it.
My usual fodder here is 150gr SST pushed along by 46 gr RL15. However I was thinking I may need a better (?) or premium bullet ie. A frame, partition or accubond?.
Your thoughts and comments on bullet choice etc would be most welcome.
As a matter of interest I have not had woodland reds walk more than a few paces when hit in the engine room by a 150 SST.
I have an slot available for a 300 mag but maybe think that for most stalking here it would be too much gun and I would not be going to Africa every year. Although a 300 H&H would be a nice addition to the collection.
