I would think if you went to Africa to hunt! You would know what you are going to hunt and take the proper gun to hunt with! NO!
Ummmmm, no; unless it were the Big Five, requiring special arrangements. For Plains Game, people may go intending to take, say, Wildebest, Impala, Kudu, Bushbuck and Warthog. When they get there, they realize how gorgeous the Sable are; or the Eland; or they run into a Monster Kudu like iudoug....in which case, the .270 is gonna be an expensive and embarrassing proposition.

No hunter I ever met went to Africa with a shopping list and stuck to that list.
But thanks for the input. Looking forward to having your friends chime in on their rationale for the .270, where they hunted, and what other game was available.
