just developed the 338 GNR and pretty much used it on everything from Impala to Gemsbok and Kudu. I used the Nosler Partition bullet on everything. Later on I switched to the Accubond which I consider the best bullet made for big game. This was back when we could bring as many guns with us as we could pack in our gun case. I brought a couple of Contenders, (no Encores back then), one for longer range and a short barreled one in 338 GNR for the close range shots. I also brought a couple of revolvers and an extra barrel or 2. We hunted down in the Northern Cape and hunted a couple of days in the snow.
