A while ago there was an article done on rifles for Professional Hunters. I think it was written by someone in charge of the PH testing in Zimbabwe. Does anyone know what I am talking about? If you do, can you send me a link to this article? Sorry that I can't describe it any better.

Thanks,

Al

You should consider that this article was written more than a few years ago and that the section condemning the .416Rem was challenged and the author now admits that it may have been an isolated incident caused by some questionable ammunition.

Thanks,

that's exactly what I wanted.

The article has been ported to another server from the one it was originally posted, I'll see if I can dig it up.

Couldn't find it on the new African Hunter website, but maybe I did not dig far enough.

Ok, most of Heath's articles can be found here:

But the one in question is not on the new site.

Amyone have a more updated article? his ones 6 or 7 years old.

This may work for you:

Go to the "Big Bore" web site, download the "Journal" and you'll find, what I think is, a more recent article in there.

There were two articles published fairly recently in Rifle magazine written under the nom de plume Ganyana. Choosing a Dangerous Game Rifle appeared in the November, 2008, issue, and Calibers for Dangerous Game was in the January, 2009, issue.
