Hunted my first animal with a big bore last night... 101 kg Bushpig, lets just say its a lot more fun than with the standard 270 or 30-06 and I'm definately addicted now dancing

It worked Cool

Blaser R93 .416 Rem Mag
400gr Hornady Round Nose at 2250 fps
Leupold VX7 2.5-10x45
Shot on a bait 2 days before full moon

Like I said, definately more fun than using the standard 270/30-06
