African big game with a ML?

[PecoSanchez]

Would a ML with a 150 grain load and a heavier bullet out to say 30-50 yards be effective of the big 6 in Africa? What would the max range be?

No idea of what the big six entails, but there are people out hunting big game in Africa with muzzleloaders. What their loads and projectiles are, I have no idea. Doc White and some others go hunting in Africa and have posted information on their web sites about the adventures as well.

Powderbelt has a Dangerous Game bullet. I think it would work although i would not want to get that close[&:]

You could also get a 7ga traditional muzzleloader

Jim Shockey has taken a lot of african game with an inline and nolser partitions for years. So it can be done, maybetake a boo at his site and see what he has to say about MLs in africa. Hunting in africa their is no shortage of ample firepower for back up! I know I certainly wouldn't want a single shot, especially on my first expedition

just a side note. if you plan to hunt africa i believe it is hard to get the powder into the countries over there. i thought i herd that you have to set up something with your PH-(profesional hunter) to have the powder there already.
