This is way too much overkill. Never go more powerful than a 5.5 mm airgun on lioness.

At on stage the 359 Rigby magnum was considered good for lion so me thinks the 35 Whelen would be the ducks guts with the right bullet
Teddy Roosevelt said his 405 was his lion medicine.

I would avoid the 280 Ross.

Booked with Harold Grinde - Gana River - they sure kill some good ones - who'd you get set up with?
HI all, here is a Short update on our America trip, I currently in Houston and have 2 more meetings here before movings North toward Oklahoma, Missouri and Iowa, and from there I will head to Colorado and Idaho,I have been met with great hospitality and friendship, and have met several new and old clients and we are going to book the rest of 2025 season quick and have several dates booked for 2026!
That's a wrap, on our first hunt of this years season.
Hunting conditions are a bit tougher in South Africa during the month of February, but can be just as rewarding if done right.
