Hi dpphilip
If the good man downed a rhino with his 44 henry? i would feel overguned with a 94 in 3030 i wonder if 3030 loadad with fmj RN 170-180 grain at 2000+ fps good kill an elephant with brain shot? i have heard a lot of cullingsare done with 308 and millitary fmj ammos . right or wrong i can't verify it. i would be grateful to hear from our african hunter freinds.
regards
danny
