=======================================

Surprising to me that the Weatherby "Woundabeast" cartridges 378, 416, and 460 garnered only 3% COMBINED!

Remember, ONE gun for all the "Big Five" of Africa and bear in mind, you have to be able to CARRY what the rifle chambered for the round you choose. I fully expect different preferences on this website......

WHICH WOULD YOU CHOOSE?
