the 338 GNR prior to that. On that hunt I used 3 or 4 new cartridges, the 338 GNR, 224 GNR, 356 GNR and the old favorite 41 GNR in a S&W revolver.I wanted to see if the 338 had the punch for hard to drop African animals like Gemsbok, Blue Wildebeest, and the top 2 record book Common Reedbuck. It performed perfectly taking those animals plus a baboon. The 41 GNR took Red Hartebeest, Blesbok, and a Jackal and the 224 GNR took an Impala. I had used my 378 GNR on 2 or 3 previous safaris but I brought it along too (back then there was no limit on how many guns you brought) taking an Nyala and another Impala. It was a great hunt plus all the cartridges performed perfectly.
