No, I'm pretty sure they're herbivours and therefore do not "hunt" as such.

Ooo the British and the Americans... over here its
- buffalo
- oryx
- nyala
- kudu
- bluewildebeest
- reindeer (yep - imported)
tee hee hee... Too bad ammo is so expensive here though!
And I wouldn't go after buffalo with a .303 (something that is made by H & H
and which has ammo that costs +- $25 a round might be more suitable.)

Haven't been in a hunting supply store in a long while, so I don't know
what the local prices might be. But, checking some surplus websites for
this area, looks to be around USD25 for 20 rnds, or close to $300 for
400rnds.
Tons of cheap 30-30, 30-06, and .308 but there doesn't seem to be much
.303 ammo here.

Hmm interesting! Ok, so we're not getting screwed really with the prices we
have here.
30-30 is extremely rare in SA, I don't think I've ever even seen that
caliber on sale here - most for a Winchester lever-action carbine, right?
30-06 is well known for light and medium sized game hunting, and .308 is
THE farmer's rifle here. It is usually scoped and used for hunting game or
controlling pests (jackals, caracal, etc.) on SA farms.
.303 British is quite common since many guys my age have inherited them from
fathers and grandfathers, and more than 90% of these rifles in circulation
are unmodified military Lee-Enfields that the grandfather (usually) carried
in the Second World War. Mine is a 1918 Mark 4 that my grandad on my Mom's
side carried in WWII.

Or the USA is getting equally screwed on prices. I didn't check anything
outside the country.

Yeah, that's what I recall. I checked wiki, which says that the -30 was
tacked on by a competitor, who didn't want to manufacture .30 Winchester
rounds.
And it seems some people actually use the 30-30 in handguns. Ow...

Very similar here for game, but most pests are too small to hit with a
.308. The .22 is the normal rodent round, being just enough to get rid
of them, and not powerful enough to cause much trouble if you miss. And
for rodent hunting, when food gets scarcer or more expensive.
Around here, any dog the size of a jackal is likely to be someones pet
and any cat that size is probably a protected species.
