The other client who tried a .45/70 on a dead elephant shot it with a .460 A-square (?) or a .500 A-square.

He planned to try it for real the next year which would have been in 2003. Bret Hein was the PH. As some of the members here hunt occasionally with Brent maybe someone could ask one day if it happened and how it went.

The guy sounded reasonably experienced so he probably did it OK.
