I have an opportunity to go hunting in Africa next year in exchange for services I have already rendered for some land owners on the dark continent. The game includes some plaines game such as kudu and wildebeest. I'll use my good ol .300wm on them.
But I also have a chance to hunt the black death in Malawi (cape Buffalo) on the same trip.
So, any excuse for a new rifle is a good excuse right?
I don't want a .375HH. my brother has one and it's fine, but if I'm going big, I want 416 cal or bigger.
Anyway, I'm thinking perhaps .416 Remington or Rigby? Perhaps .458 Lott/win mag?
I'm a hand loader so ammo isn't an issue. Also, I'm not recoil sensitive.... have fired .460 Weatherby without too much discomfort (no muzzle brake).
Also, I'm not worried about North America hunting practicality as I I have plenty of other guns suitable for anything on this continent.
Thanks.
