On the first day of my only elephant hunt I told the PH to jump in if he thought there was any chance of the animal getting away.
So, when my first 470 500gr Barnes super solid missed the brain, but knocked him down, the PH put a 470 in the chest.
Jumbo got right back up, but didn't go anywhere. So I kept shooting til I found the brain. BTW, on a side brain shot, you'll know immediately when you've hit it. A geyser of bright red highly oxygenated blood will shoot out of the ears. No mistake.

Of course I wanted to shoot the elephant myself, but I wanted to not lose him after wounding him even more.
