Correction grayghost, I gave the velocities in backward order. The 200gr. is 2900 fps and the 250gr. is 2500 fps. I really like the 338-06. The 200gr-250gr. bullets loaded to maximum have a very tolerable recoil and packs a pretty big punch.

Just got my passport back from renewal today. That was a relief. I got my custom forms taken care of for the two rifles and now await the big trip. I am flying from Corpus Christi to Atlanta on American then recheck everything in Atlanta to Delta and on to
Frankfurt. Baggage will pass through to Capetown on Lufthansa and I will recheck everything (for the third time) in Capetown for South African airways to Windhoek. Luckily the two long legs of the trip are at night. The other two fellows going in our group go straight to Johannesburg from Atlanta. I could not make that connection so I will go it alone via Frankfurt. When did you say you were leaving for Africa?
