Agree, however...
Ian Nyschens reckoned that in his experience, the .404 Jefferey was insufficient as a charge-stopper in the thick Jesse bush of Zimbabwe and switched to a .450 NE - and I thik we can safely call him a good shot!
In fact he switched to a Rigby .450 No 2 but lost it in the Zambezi !! Man I'd have been pissed!
I visited with Ivan Carter this week who showed my at least 6 different elephants charges where the brain shot was used from 5 to 15 yards--all were done with either a .450, 470, or 500 Nitro--based on what I saw--it would appear the 450 has plenty to do the job and is what Ivan currenlty is using in a Heym ..
