I have zero experience with Africa animals and need some advice.
I’m going to Africa in July 2021 on a 10 day hunt. Although I am a bowhunter, I’m leaving it home this trip and just taking my rifle. I’m planning on taking a .300 win. The animals I’ll be hunting with be in a range from impala to kudu. I image kudu are somewhat close to a bull elk as far as toughness goes, but im just assuming here. So my question is, what bullet is “best” for these animals. I’ve used the 200 gr hornady eldx on elk and they produce decent results. Is this going to be a sufficient bullets for these types of animals? Do I need heavier? or something completely different. Should I be taking my .338 instead?
it probably doesn’t matter than much and I’m thinking too much into this, but given this is my first and probably last trip to Africa, I want to make sure I'm as prepared as I can be.
thanks for any advice or suggestions!
