What's are the best Africa hunting bullets? We're joined by Dr. Kevin Robertson in this episode and he's going to share his thoughts on some of the best bullets for hunting in Africa for plains game, lion, leopard, and cape buffalo.
Africa is a very large and diverse continent with a wide variety of game to match. However, Kevin has lots of real world experience afield in Africa and he literally wrote the book on shot placement and bullet selection on African game.

Resources
1) The Perfect Shot and Africa's Most Dangerous. Kevin wrote both of these books and I highly recommend purchasing copies of each if you think you might want to hunt in Africa one day. They contain a wealth of knowledge about the natural history of the major species of African game, cartridge recommendations, bullet recommendations, tips on shot placement, and general information about hunting in Africa. You can also purchase a pocket-sized mini edition of the Perfect Shot to take along as a reference on a hunt. Get copies of them all at https://thebiggamehuntingblog.com/kevin
