You talk great sense.

"Regarding the "best performing large caliber" ...go for the .500 NE. A heavier bullet with greater frontal area is there
should you find yourself needing it on a hunt. The .470 will kill everything just as good as a .500, but the 500 has that
"little bit" more should you need it."

The 500 does have that LITTLE BIT MORE".

People underestimate the impact that Frontal area of a bullet has. Combined with extra bullet weight,
it really shows on large game.

Have shot a few Buffalo in Australia with 500/465 and a 500. I have actually seen the shock waves
go down the side of a body when hit with a 500 Nitro. In a stopping situation I am told that if you are
off slightly, the 500 will help. (I haven't had to stop a charge with a 500 so can't tell from personal
experience).
