IS THERE A PERFECT ONE--PROBABLY--
WILL IT ALWAYS WORK TO PERFECTION IN ALL CASES---PROBABLY NOT..

ARE THERE MANY GOOD CARTRIDGES OUT THERE---YES..

PERSONALLY, IMHO, BIGGER IS BETTER AS LONG AS ONE CAN HANDLE THE RECOIL AND SHOOT EFFECTIVELY..

I HAVE A .375, 416, 458 WIN, 470 NITRO DOUBLE AND WORKING ON ANOTHER DOUBLE..TO BE DISCLOSED AT A FUTURE DATE

BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE AND WHAT I HAVE READ, ALONG WITH MANY ARTICLES BY BODDINGTON, THERE IS A NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCE WHEN SHOOTING A CAPE BUFFALO WITH A .375 VERSUS A 416.. THE INITIAL EFFECT IS NOTICABLE.. CONVERSLY, THERE IS ALSO A NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SHOOTING A BUFFALO WITH A .416 VERSUS A .458...AGAIN, CAN YOU HANDLE THE GUN AND MAKE A GOOD ACCURATE SHOT???

SHOT PLACEMENT IS ALWAYS PARAMOUNT VERSUS THE CLUB YOU HIT THEM WITH.. BUT,,, ON A FULL ON CHARGE.. THE LARGER BULLETS ARE MORE EFFECTIVE..

BOLT VERSUS DOUBLE---THE BOLT OFFERS PROBABLY A LONGER SHOT SINCE MOST HAVE A SCOPE ON THEM WHICH TRANSLATES INTO MORE ACCURACY IF YOU HAVE TO THREAD A BULLET THROUGH AN OPENING..YOU ALSO WILL HAVE 3 TO 4 BULLETS IN A BOLT.. BUT THE FOLLOW UP CAN NEVER MATCH THE DOUBLE IN QUICKNESS..

THE DOUBLE OFFERS TWO QUICK SHOTS, NOSTALGA, AND GREAT RELIABLITY IN THE HEAT OF THE MOMENT...SO EACH HAVE THE POSITIVE QUALITIES...

AS TO WHICH ONE--HOW MUCH MONEY DO YOU HAVE??? FOR DOUBLES, IF MONEY WAS NOT AN ISSUE, MY PREFERENCE WOULD BE A HIGH END ENGLISH DOUBLE.. NO QUESTIONS ASKED..--IF MONEY IS AN ISSUE, LOOK AROUND, THERE ARE MANY GOOD DOUBLES AT MODERATE PRICES,, IF $10,000 OR ABOVE CAN BE CONSIDERED MODERATE..

---MERKEL, KRIEGHOFF, CHAPIUS..ETC...

AS FOR A BOLT--FOR DANGEROUS GAME ONLY, I WOULD GET A MAUSER TYPE ACTION--(CONTROLLED FEED) --START THERE--HOWEVER THE BRAND NAME,ETC.. CAN GO ON AND ON... I WOULD PROBABLY GET ONE BUILT TO MY SPECIFICATIONS.. THEREFORE IT WOULD BE "MY" RIFLE...

AGAIN,, THIS IS JUST MHO...
