I love the part where it says "writers are always declaring deer and antelope calibres like the 375 H&H magnum etc etc"

deer and antelope?

It was this artical that me wanted a borerifle in the first place when I first read it in 1996. However another 10 years should pass before I bought one. I can only comply with the artical. The big bore has a devastating effect.

I-too remember that article well. Stirred me up to butcher (modify) a 12 bore AYA into a side by side round ball bear slapper.

I've shot OmniBob's 10 bore DR and it really is manageable.
Now my 600NE with 900 grns at 2100 and 10 pounds weight ISN'T!
