Minimum legal requirement for big game hunting is a 375 caliber.Minimum recommended for for medium / small game is a 270 caliber. A good recommended versatile caliber like a 300 or 338 is sufficient for most plains game species. Shooting distances vary from 50 yards to 250 yards. For ammunition we recommend a well known factory make and be sure it's not rated for small thin skinned animals, but for African wildlife. We recommend a very high quality bullet, such as Swift A-frame, Nosler Partition, Norma Oryx, or other equivalent projectiles; you are investing a lot into this trip, and wouldn't want the experience compromised by inferior ammunition.
