[QUOTE="Xescane, post: 1877432, member: 113388"] After 40 years of taxidermy I cannot recommend a 6.5 for any animal greater than 800lb. I have seen far to many animals that had to be finished off by the guide service simply because the client didn't shoot a weapon with enough knock down power. As for anything larger than 2000lbs I have never seen a successful one shot kill with anything less than a .458. Most large African game is still taken with a nitro. [/QUOTE]
