[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 217107, member: 8843"] Are you wanting a true Dangerous game rifle thats intended on stopping a charge weather it be from cracked out Zebra to a 8000lb bull elephant? or are you looking for somthing as an all around rifle for hunting Africa? If I were going to Aferica I'd be bringing more than one gun , I bring a flat shooting deer/elk style rifle , a mid sized heavy game rifle like the 375 RUM or 416 Rigby , and a "Dangerous" game rifle somthing 458 Win mag at the minimum , A 460 Wby is a great round for Africa , it can be loaded down slightly with lighter bullets in the 350gr class to meet 458 win performance or stoked up to push a 500gr bullet to 2700fps ,the later is pretty punishing in a gun without a brake. If your going to bring only one gun then I'd look at the 416 Rigby or Weatherby realy hard and they would be at the bottom of the energy scale as a charge stopper [/QUOTE]
