I have no experience with the 450-400.
For those of you that do how would you
describe its best use. If the 470 is a
stopping cartridge what is the 450-400?

Anything is a stopping cartridge if using the right bullet
and you hit the animal in the brain. I stopped a full on charge from a very angry Scrub Bull with a 338 Win Mag the other day using Winchester Silvertips.

The other aspect of stopping cartridges is the
shock aspect of it even if you miss the brain.

But the 450/400 is a damn good killing round and will take everything alive on the planet, including Elephant.
