RE: Bullet advice
I'm also going back in June '08! But to answer your question, the accubonds will be fine. I have taken all the animals you mentioned plus warthog, kudu, blesbuk, and black wildebeest, all with 165 grain Sierra Gamekings in 30.06. I will use Barnes MRX's this time, but the accubonds should be no problem.
Where will you be hunting?
