[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 2029396, member: 2736"] I would have to disagree with that because most dangerous game is hunted with solids for better penetration and higher velocity means better penetration. I have many friends that hunt Africa and they would strongly disagree, and there request was the reasons that the 416 Texan was developed. The deeper the bullet goes in the game hunted, the more vitals it will effect. It also means better trajectory if needed. (The 416 Texan has a trajectory that closely matches a 270 Winchester making single leaf sights adequate). The other issue was the pressure spike when temperatures go well above 110o loads can become troublesome and ejection of a round for a second shot is need and not available. The reason most PH's preferred the double rifle so there was always a second shot availability. Recoil will always be a factor In any cartridge/rifle package and many can't manage the recoil of even a 375 H&H, so it becomes a personal choice of what you want to use and how good your PH is with his really big rifle if hunting something that wants to turn you into that green and red stuff between his toes. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM Normally what people use is what they are use to and the fact that it is what they have. [/QUOTE]
