Calibre Choices for Dangerous Game

Nice article

I am chatting with Rigby now about 416 Rigby.

I will have to see how we could dress the rifle up... a little engraving would be a nice personal touch in my opinion...
 
Good article. Shot placement and the right bullet, where have I heard that before?
 
Excellent article with very good advice. In particular; . . . . "shot placement and bullet construction are far more important than calibre."
 
Yes shot placement is all important but a 416 Rigby would be such a great gun to own.
 
I think we have a consensus! Bullet composition and shot placement are the things PH's worry about. Good to know. CAustin- you might still need that .416 because the article didn't mention country-specific minimum calibers. If I were a judge, my gavel would be striking and the words "case closed" would echo in my courtroom. But I'm not, so feel free to continue arguing.

Excellent article, worth reading twice.

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Finally back to somewhat normal I missed reading the messages and posts

Hi PaulB,
I have a Ballard Arms Model 1885 chambered for .333 Jeffery Flanged. Do you have any idea where I can get ammo for this?

I am new to this forum so I am sorry if I am doing something wrong!
Thank You!
