[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 2171360, member: 66917"] If they shoot good in your rifle, the Barnes 190, 200 and 212 LRXs or other heavy Monos will provide great close range performance and great penetration and wound channels out to 600-700 yards. The top end really is limited to where you run below 2000 fps. It usually takes around 1900fps-2000fps to get reliable expansion on the monos. They will handle everything from the tiny African antelope up to a big bear, not that a 300 Win is perfect bear medicine but with a well placed shot it will do fine. All the African PHs I've asked about bullets all have spoke well of the various Barnes TSX-LRX bullets and African game is fairly tough. I did it one year walking around SCI and DSC. Also, I have been able to easily stock up on the 127gr 6.5mm LRX. I plan on using it in Africa in August. Previously I used the 180gr TTSX in a 300 WSM for plains game. I got full pass throughs on all animals shot through the shoulder area. I lost a bullet in a Zebra that was shot close to head-on right on the point of the shoulder.
