My calibers for hunting in Africa

[Von S.]

Ray....come on now Ray...

I was thinking something more substantial, like " a G- Wiz" ,@ ,cash up front with 25 plates, and none of your gun slinging ranch hands all around with "black guns" and "308" s around when I go to collect. I don't want to wind up bush meat for vultures and lions.

What kind of farm do you have? And how do you stop the wildlife from eating your stuff?

Just to let all of you "fake users" know @308Win has been banned! I was out with my wife last night and only saw the nonsense this morning.

Tell your lovely wife that she cost me the under on ban time in the betting pool!!!

I am a macadamia farmer.
We have hippo, Bush pigs, duiker, side striped jackals, monkeys and bushbuck on the farm, none of which I hunt so they are all quite tame (except for the monkeys...)
I have a very nice range though and will pay you 5 Zimbabwe for every plate you break. You can pony up 5 US for every one you miss.

The only black gun here is mine. My ranch hands are pretty handy with a panga (machete) though...

She got a good laugh and wants to know who won? The site was flying on auto pilot last night... unfortunately it also hit some turbulences.

Ray,

Something don't seem fair here....

175 quandrillion Zimbabwe equals 5 bucks. You are one big hearted guy Ray.

That stuff ain't worth the paper its printed on.

Question? If you want to shoot a hippo on your property do you have to pay the government a fee? Like 200 Zimbabwe's

You have to give me odds. I reckon your skills merit 175 quandrillion to one!

All kidding aside, we require a permit and a valid reason to shoot hippo which is something we would rather not do. Last year we shot a female hippo which had killed one of my employees. She was a particularly belligerent animal.
286 gr solid from .375 did the job on land.

I thought I was the over and you were paying for my DSC/AH dinner.

What, you dare to question my .243??? I can take an elephant down at 2000 yards with that rifle!!!

Why use such a big caliber, a 17 Hornet will do

Zim $100 Trillion notes are now selling on Ebay for $50-$100USD each. Hard to believe. 8-10 years ago I gave a few hundred away to friends. Even put a couple in the collection basket at Church. Accountant wouldn't let me write it off. But, don't fret for me. My son still has $1,000(paid) of collectible baseball cards that are now worth $30.

So my whole life on AH is just a cyber creation of Jerome and Brickburn?

The Matrix is real!!!

Awesome Jerome, thank you! Although it was somewhat entertaining, it was time for it to stop. So back to the .243 for elephant...

Come on, we have to draw the line somewhere... 17H will be fine as long as you use solids, brass only though, not those flimsy steel jacketed lead core things... but be careful of pass through in a herd situation

I don't know Pete, seems kind of light, I think I'd better stick with my .243...
