Pure conjecture NOT based on experience but if I had a favorite Elephant Double I would have to agree with Mickey and I believe Marrakai who believe that the 577 Light Magnum with the 2 3/4 case as a primo candidate.A 750 grain solid at 1850 should penetrate well and have major smack as well.
I used a .585 nyati on elephant and buffalo. It was pushing a 750 grain solid at 2250 fps. I only got 3.5 feet of penetration, which is not very impressive. Drop the velocity by 400 fps? It should be fine for buffalo, but would not be my first choice for frontal brain shots on elephant.
