I'm headed over in September. After my buff I expect that largest thing I will kill may be waterbuck. What do you all think? 130gr Nosler Partition 150gr Barnes TSX 160gr Nosler Partition Or other suggestions. Thanks, Andy | ||

I took Zebra and Gemsbok in Namibia with the 140 grain X bullet and 270 Wby in 2005. I could have used more penetration on the Gemsbok but he was quartering harder than I thought. ------------------------------- Some Pictures from Namibia Some Pictures from Zimbabwe An Elephant Story | |||

Not familiar with the 160 grain, but I know what the 150 Barnes will do. Depends upon how accurate your rifle shoots any of them. If you reload and can fine tune, I'd stay with 150 or 160. You'll need penetration, especially on Waterbuck. Careful on any small antelope.

Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running...... "If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you." | |||

Andy, Take your 375. The 270 Weatherby is fine but it won't cover your 450 if the 450 has a problem. You probably will not have any long shots with Johnnie anyway. Mark MARK H.
