Everything I've read and my limited experience too tells me that Mac is wrong about stopping a charge.

A 375H&H, 450/400, 450NE...are all equal in stopping a charge when the brain is hit. But stopping a charge or turning a charge without a CNS hit becomes more likely the larger the bullet in weight and diameter and the faster, within reason, that it is going.

See Buzz Charlton's video, and count the number of times when he says, "...that elephant would have dropped if a 500 grain bullet had been used..." or something similar. He says it regarding his own shooting and failure to hit the CNS while turning a charge with his 416 Rigby. This is not coincidence, and the 450/400 is no 416 Rigby either.

This is exactly what i said If the CNS is hit it make no difference, if not then nothing short of a 577NE is sure to stop it with a close to the brain hit. Anf a 416 Rigby ain't no 577NE
