Obviously Ele can cause an instant crisis on any hunt and a PG hunt in particular.

Pardon me for playing the Devils Advocate---
There are no certainly no flies on the 9.3, but if tripping over Ele is a real concern it seems a bit light if a charge does occur.Wouldn't outfitting with a 450/400 with solids and a detachable scope and a 375 bolt as b/u with solids be a better alternativethan the 9.3 for both PG and Ele if possible?
The difference in trajectory at 200yd distance is only one inch between them and the 450/400 could smack Ele much harder.

I guess what I am asking is that if dangerous game encounters truly are a possibility thenshould heavier armament than a 9.3 be carried??

Is the 450/400 a viable long range PG compromise vs the 9.3 with Ele and Buff pop ups a possibility?
