Recommendations for Group Plains game hunt
Hey Guys,
I’m very familiar with many places and outfitters in numerous Countries. However, I’m trying g to think of some options I might not be putting front of mind.

Namibia Safari - Plains Game
I'm looking for advice on what bullet to load in my 338 for plains game. Planning on Kudu, Nyala, Gemsbuck, Zebra, Impala, Wildebeast and Warthog. I have TTX, Partitions and Accubonds available in 225 grains. What would you choose assuming it shoots well?
