Love your choice of old calibers for Africa, always wanted a 318 Wesley Richards and a 404 Jeffery. Always been my choice since reading the likes of Ruark, Seleous, Taylor and others 50 years ago when I was 10. It will never happen now but at least I got to hunt it with an American 9.3 x 62. 35 Whelan to normal people. Did a great job on my kudu. Hit him front and found the bullet in his ham after over 5foot of penetration. I will try and upload a picture of the two projectiles recovered. Left projectile accubond right woodleigh. Second photo top accubond bottom woodleigh. The final photo is my kudu. 52 inches not as big as some but good for the Kalahari and I'm more than happy with mine.
