Caliber 30-30 use in Africa???

Put this on takeri photos thread if I remember correctly..but as its a thread on 30-30 for use in African hunting thought would add it here...shot it running off at an angle ..can't remember distance but around 60 yards plus...it piled up instantly...took another 2 for staff rations as Christmas treat

Savage 340 in 3030 of you prefer your 3030 in a turnbolt
 
I dont know if I mentioned it but the owner of one of the farm I hunt on has this wierd old bolt action 30-30 that he uses for camp meat.
Mostly wildebeest.
50-70m in the thick stuff, it works.
Why would a lever gun not do the same.

At one stage Remington made the 788 in 30-30 that was extremely accurate.

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
