Charles Cottar was a big fan of the 32 spcl with soft and solids. He kept a list of game killed, number of shots ect. It included rhino and buffalo.

By all means take the .458 Lott if you want the satisfaction of using it on Elephant but keep in mind that the .416 is plenty enough.


As I mentioned above, size is immaterial.

Seen 577 T.Rex fail on a frontal shot!


Is that because of bullet failure or did the bullet not track in a straight line ?
