RE: 45-70 in Africa.
I'm not going to get into the 45-70 effectiveness on dangerous game debate since I have no "Africa" experiance at all, but I would like to ask a queation though.
If the 375 H&H is considered the required minimum in most African hunts then how do hunters get away with hunting cape buffalo with revolvers in 44 mag, 454 Casull, 480 Ruger, 475 Linnebaugh, 500 S&W and the such?
Do they just have big gonads and more money than they know what to do with? Or is it just for publicity?
I think I would opt for a 45-70 over any of the revolver cartriges available.
