Default RE: My gun for Africa....

I have heard this argument about CR feed and braised on bolt handles many times. I my 30 plus years of shooting and reloading I've saw bolts jamed so tight by dummies who think the max loads are for starters in manuals, that a mallet was needed to drive open the bolt. I have never saw a bolt handle broken off, nor have I ever seen a stuck case left in the chamber after the bolt was open! I'm not saying this cannot or doesn't happen but I've never witnessed such. I still think that anyone who is planning an African saffari should be able to pre ship enough ammo to the PH whome they are going to hunt with, to make safe most any chambering they would choose. This sounds like a bunch of friendly bickering to me as opposed to trying to solve a real problem
