| A .62 or larger rifle using a prodigious charge of black powder ought to suffice. There have been plains rifles made for such work but I can't abide a hooked buttplate. The Zephyr might be interesting http://www.pacificrifle.com/african.htm |

| My White 97 Ultra Mag, with a 460-grain Power Punch bullet, and the highest charge of either Pyrodex or Triple 7 that gave good accuracy at ~75 yards. Not a problem... |

| If you'd shoot one w/ a 458 Win Mag, you could just use a Savage I can imagine a .458 solid or X would be quite effective in a MMP HP sabot ontop of a stout charge of 4198. Reloader |
