I'll go with just one, though (disclaimer) I don't own one: a Marlin converted to a .50 Alaskan. Heck, I've even got the GBL to convert, and as an Alaskan, I SHOULD have an Alaskan, shouldn't I?
Well he sais Africa so for most countries that would mean minimum 375....I guess it depends on what kind of dangerous game you're hunting.

I had Wild West Guns build me a 50 Alaskan 10 years ago, great packing gun for hiking in bear country.I'll go with just one, though (disclaimer) I don't own one: a Marlin converted to a .50 Alaskan. Heck, I've even got the GBL to convert, and as an Alaskan, I SHOULD have an Alaskan, shouldn't I?
The three calibers I actually used on dangerous game were my wildcat .505 SRE (duplicates .500 NE in performance), .458 WM (my Krieghoff double rifle) and .375 H&H (my second set of rifle barrels for my Krieghoff). They never failed me.I had Wild West Guns build me a 50 Alaskan 10 years ago, great packing gun for hiking in bear country.
In my search for the perfect dangerous game cartridge, I stumbled across the following article:Interesting, I've never actually seen a rifle chambered for 400H&H or commercial ammo for it. That's one of H&H's newer inventions right?
The 400 H&H has my interest at this moment....I can not see any flaws in this cartridge!The three I'm planning at the moment are
.300 H&H bolt
.400 H&H or .404 Jeffery bolt
.450/400 3" double
Might even do a second set of barrels in .300 H&H for the double OR...get the 300 and 400 in a two barrel breakdown combo
This make a lot of sense....9.3x64 Brenneke
400 H&H Magnum
450 Rigby
@zephyr has the most experience with this cartridge of any person I know of. But check out the threads for 400H&H too.In my search for the perfect dangerous game cartridge, I stumbled across the following article:
Does anybody on this forum have experience with the 400 H & H? Seems to me very close to perfect...
Thank you, Pheroze! That will put me definitely on the right track....@zephyr has the most experience with this cartridge of any person I know of. But check out the threads for 400H&H too.
