My PH in Namibia told me about a bloke using a 700Nitro on Elephant. Total was around 5 hits with the 700 and a couple with a 458 Lott and lots of tracking.

I think most would agree that shot placement with a bullet that will go the distance is what is needed to put an animal down. The animal may cover some distance be it drops but it will drop. Yes there are exceptions with some hit with small calibres or FMJ's through the lungs only but they are rare.

So the question is did the 375 fail or did the shooter fail? Think we know the answer to that.
