Given the size and toughness of the Bushbuck, a medium caliber rifle is usually recommended. Calibers in the .260 Remington, 7 X 57 Mauser, .308 Winchester, and .30-06 Springfield range are popular choices. The bullet selection is equally important and should lean towards a controlled expansion type or bonded bullet to ensure a clean, ethical kill on your hunt. Bullets weighing in the region of 150 – 180 gr. are ideal for Bushbuck on an African Hunting Safari.
