So now we have a 4 bore shooting 2000 grn bullets at 2000

FPS. I admit it must be way cool

to shoot a DR that

makes a one inch hole in paper targets. And it must be

something to see when a bull wearing 150 or 200 totaL

pounds of ivory takes a round or two into it's enormous

skull. A mental image that would stay fresh for ever I bet.

But what caliber will knock an ellie down for a couple of

minutes if the brain is missed by 4 inches or there about,

from a shot taken at 20 yards. This IS the caliber that

would get my vote for the largest LEGITIMATE hunting rifle.

Bigger is just HEAVIER! Where Do we ultimately go, to a '1'

bore [1.669 inch diameter] rifle weighing fifty pounds!?!?

How about a 2,500 NE at 75 pounds. I wish BUZZ CHARLTON or

other equally experienced men were posters here and

extended to us their experience regarding this question.

Pondoro wrote that most old ivory hunters, if they

decided that 500 grn bullets were too light in certain

situations, would skip the 500 NE 570 grainer and pick a

577 NE 750 grainer or 600 NE 900 grainer, because if you

NEED more than 500 grns you don't need just 70 grns more,

you need a WHOLE LOT MORE!
