[QUOTE="budlight, post: 82868, member: 2939"] It's mounted 9'6" on all four feet walking towards us. chest shot 458 win mag 26 inch barrel 510 grain round nose soft point. Chest shot and blew out the butt cheek. Shut it down. Same gun and 510 round, big bull African Elephant forhead shot dead. The modern african big five all dropped in one shot. We considered 500 solids for Cape buffalo. It didn't matter. I've got a friend with a 458 Lott or the other guy with the 460 Weatherby. At some point it doesn't matter. I own a .458 American also. I really think that the best guns are the 416's. They are legal for all african animals. Really unless your out on kodiak island or some coast or maybe on a river you don't have to take a long shot. I never want to wound an animal and it run off and die. I have a buddy that used his .338 lapua and got a big brown at 400 stepped off. They have the video. Classic heart lung broad side. 275 gr [/QUOTE]
