I believe the CNS brain/cranium/atlas of a large croc to be more like cigarette-packet size. The shot will invariably be made from a very steady rested ambush position. A good DR (..and a good DR shooter!) should be able to manage this out to 100 yds, but closer is better of course!
That accuracy is beyond my capabilities with my .450 NE DR without doubt. The Valmet/Tikka with a scope would be much more suitable or a bolt action in a medium to .375 calibre.
