Is South Africa all high fence — shooting fish in a barrel? 🎯
In this video I break down what actually happens: one guy has a rough experience with the wrong outfitter, tells the story back home, and it snowballs until everyone assumes that's just how South Africa hunting is. Here's the real picture.

Twenty years. Thirty-plus international trips. Eighteen safaris. Over a hundred and eighteen species on the ground across multiple continents — and when I sat down and looked back on all of it, four rifle calibers had done basically all the work.I'm not a ballistics guru, and I'm not a gun nut. But after two decades hunting everything from plains game to dangerous game in Africa, I've learned what actually works versus what just sounds good in an ad or looks good on a thumbnail. Right now everyone's chasing the next new caliber — 6.5 PRC, 22 Creedmoor, you name it — and I think a lot of hunters way overthink this decision.In this one I break down the four calibers that carried me through it all: the .308 Winchester, the most forgiving and confidence-building round in my safe; the .300 Remington Magnum, the true workhorse that scaled up for bigger, tougher animals; the 7mm Remington Magnum, the caliber that's traveled with me more than any other, across more countries and more species than the rest combined; and the .375 H&H the one rifle that's never left my side when dangerous game was on the license.If you're gearing up for your first safari, or you're just tired of the noise around which "new" caliber you supposedly need — this one's for you.What we cover:– Why I'm not a ballistics expert, and why that's okay– The .308 Winchester and building real confidence behind the rifle– The .300 Remington Magnum and its all-around versatility– The 7mm Remington Magnum, my most-used caliber worldwide– The .375 H&H Magnum and dangerous game in Africa– Why proven gear beats chasing the newest releaseSubscribe for more stories from the field, and drop a comment letting me know which caliber's been your go-to.🌍 Sims SafarisEverything you need to plan your African safari — gear lists, hunting tips, species guides, and pre-vetted outfitters I've personally hunted with. 100% free.https://www.simssafaris.com🎯 Safari HelpNeed personalized guidance?
