[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2369048, member: 118816"] The comparison of the elephant cartridge and deer cartridge on elephant are all relevant to shot placement. I have seen the damage that a 458 Win Mag does on a deer when it hits the shoulder bone and literally tears the deer in half. I have also seen pictures (no not in real life since I cannot afford an African or Indian hunt but have to rely upon the words accompanying the photo of an Indian Elephant shot dead with a 30-06.) In either case, if the deer had been hit behind the shoulder the 458 would have zipped through and while destroying the heart/lung area and killing the deer, the 30-06 on the elephant would most likely have been no more than a pin ***** if not properly placed. Gentlepersons...no matter what anyone wants to say it's all in shot placement, not what kind of firearm you are shooting. A .22 Long Rifle has probably been responsible for the demise of many more deer and antelope than can ever be imagined. Don't believe me ask any Poacher or Game Warden. :( [/QUOTE]
