Good advice! I agree with this school of thought. I took my Hawkeye African .375 Ruger and shot several common plains game species all the while knowing I had a fair chance at stopping a charge from one of the big guys. The .375 did a great job on everything from impala to kudu and wildebeast. Wildebeast are quite tough. I will never hunt where elephants are present with anything smaller. I kept a couple of solids in the bottom of the magazine as well. Good hunting.
