[QUOTE="Hoofprint, post: 494611, member: 32517"] I have been to South Africa twice, & the PH there told me that he gets a lot of clients who come with too big a rifle, that they just can't shoot accurately. The 460 Wby is just this sort of gun, with impressive velocity & energy, but many people just can't aim it properly when they know that a huge thump of recoil is coming. I have a 375 H&H, which I can shoot accurately without flinching (at least for about the first 10 shots!) It is far more important to hit your target animal in a vital area with an adequate rifle than hit it somewhere else (or miss it) with a cannon. I have not hunted bear, but my "little" 375 H&H will be with me when I hunt buffalo in Australia later this year. [/QUOTE]
