[QUOTE="BillM, post: 4231563, member: 45785"] I have never been to Africa to hunt. That said, and having looked at that font of all knowledge, Wikipedia, the Blue Wildebeest is perhaps a tad larger than American elk. My dad was fond of a 220gr. 30-06 load for elk hunting. BW males can get to 900lbs. American elk about 800lbs. Dad also handloaded, and that was long, long ago, so can't tell you if factory 220gr loads are even available. Though my search engine says there's a Remington 220gr Core-Lokt load available for the -06. Hope you have a great trip! [/QUOTE]
