I'd go for a 450 Cal + Full Nitro Double rifle (ie NOT Nitro for Black)
with short 22 - 24 inch barrels.

Of the one's I own, I used my
- Westley Richards 500/465 or my
- Westley Richards 500 Nitro
- William Douglas 470 Nitro

It's not so much weight that is the problem but BALANCE.

As to where I'd shoot it, I'd of course always
go for a CNS/Killng shot but that is not always possible
so if you were slightly off target, by using a Big Bore
it will hopefully have enough other effect while you get
the 2nd shot in !!!

Just my HO.
