Game Hunting In South Africa
hunting with an 8 mm to fall big game?
Iam a South African safari in a game next year. I'm garunteed goat type animal 5 killing is what do you think? Should I take munitions or is there a place to buy ammunition for that caliber there. I looked out my 98k and looks good as he ((y very happy to use any of you out there have had the opportunity to hunt with the new round 8mm and if so, what do you think .. Iam very firm in this city of Cali. oh my installer is out John x safaris in South Africa and fee includes my PH and gun licenses and from the airports transpertaion what magazine I've come to the east of the A $ $ unscrew
I hope your K98 has a gun good enough to justify their confidence in him. Many of corrosion of ammunition available for less corrosive they. If the barrel is not strongly group and needs to be replaced, its boltface all parties to the 30-06 family and 308 family of cartridges for a huge selection, that function through their action! The 308 families that require opening the rails at the front a little to smooth chambering, but that's easy. The 30-06 was designed to maximize the "standard" length K98 action. Exactly why the 8 mm did not do a little more, is a matter of speculation. Watch a good loading manual and see all the options that have the same "Mauser" case head dimensions. For Africa, 35 Whelen (a 30/06 open up to 35 gauge) is interesting, if you're willing Handler for it! Regards, Larry.
