I'm considering using Federal High Energy 180grs. Partition in my 30.06.. Will this load be too hot for African hot summer day?? | ||

You won't have any problem, just don't let it sit in the sun on the dash of the hunting vehicle. | ||

I used the High Energy TBBC in my 06 for our trip to Namibia without any problems. BTW that was in September  ______________________ | |||

Why not? Everyone know that is how you can supercharge loads by 200 fps by heating them on the dashboard.  | |||

I've used the High Energy's in .375 H&H and in the .270 in Africa and had wonderful results. Go for it. | |||

Our clients use Fed high energy ammo all the time...Actually you probably won't be hunting in that hot a country unless your in the Zambezi delta late in the season..... There have apparantly been some problems with the Fed hi energy .458 win. but this, by design, is the nature of that brute.. Africa is hot but no more than Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and Southern California....

My wife used this load in S. Africa ~3 years ago with no problems. She even took a nice zebra with it, which says a lot for this load. In fact, this is the only gun I don't reload my own hunting loads for, because I can't duplicate it. Rifle is Winchester M-70 with 22" barrel the load chronographs at 2825fps and shoots right at 1" at 100 yards. | |||
