According to rifleshootermag.com‘s article PH Rifle Suggestions For 10 Popular African Hunts, selecting an appropriate rifle for shooting African animals isn’t as easy as all that. “Not only do you have to match your rifle to the animals you are hunting, you also have to have a rifle that suits the terrain and cover found in that hunting area.” Eleven click throughs later we learn that a .40 caliber rifle is ideal for a buffalo soldiers, elephant will remember a .416, Rhino ride the .470 nitro express (straight to hell) and Springbok back away from the 7×64 Brenneke. Commentator Benny ain’t buying the whole rifle diversity deal. “Bahumbug & Fooey on the .40 or larger for Buffalo. A .375 H&H with 350 grainers in softs and solids from norma will drop anything on planet earth. All you will ever need. . .1 man, 1 planet, 1 rifle. The magnificent .375H&H.” Is he wrong?
