IF you are going to go after some of the smaller antelope (Klipspringer. springbok, impala) a .270 Win will give you an ability to reach out and take a 300 yard shot, but it would be on the light side for the larger antelope. You may only have your .270 along when stalking a good impala and out steps a record book 110 inch eland. There is always a chance of stepping on a elephant, having a .375 H&H with a Banes X bullet in the chamber in your hands is a much better feeling than a .270 with softpoints.

American hunters over pack and if you want to do any bird hunting a shotgun may be the best choice for a second weapon to take with you. A .375 solid will punch a neat little hole in the smaller antelope if you want to do a full body mount. A shotgun is also a good back up if you are hunting leopard and need to follow Mr. Spots in the dark.
