Francis Selous used a (or more) shortened Dutch 4 bore duck/goose gun as his elephant gun for a number of years. ...
A 6 1/2 bore would do nicely as well, I'm sure, given the normal ranges in dense bush.

I think Selous' guns would all have been percussion locks. This one looks earlier from the photo, a flintlock.
