"Though a relatively recent African title, this has already
become a south-after classic in the filed and has been
reprinted several times. Taylor explores all facets of
African rifle shooting, from cartridge selection and actions
to ballistics and marksmanship. Calling on his own wealth of
experience, he evaluates different loads and how they work
on various types of African game. There is even a chapter on
choosing a revolver as an auxiliary weapon. In his opinion, the
.375 magnum was the best choice as an all-around cartridge.
This title is still considered the bible on the subject, p.163."
