Ezra4570Laupa 9.3x62 Mega for Africa?
Have any of you used this bullet on game. It seems to shoot really well in my Sauer and I would be using it on planes game.

KabluewyThey shoot well in my Mauser too, and work on brown bear, so I don't see why they wouldn't be equally effective in Africa, as they are in Alaska.

bwanamrmI've used them for nilgai antelope in south Texas and they worked very well. I would not have a problem using them in Africa. If I can find a link to my thread I will post it here.

lawndartBad idea for Africa.
The mega is a traditional cup and core bullet with a gilding metal jacket.
They will do fine through the ribs, but I would not count on them to go through shoulders, especially on larger anmals.

bwanamrmSorry, guys, just reread the post and I was using the Naturalis bullet not the Mega.
