445 Supermag....I'm not joking. Buy his book. Here is the ISBN number if you're interested to order it at any book store: 1-57157-223-6.

Why would you loose repect for the guy. Im sure he has 10X the experience in guns/bullets than you and I put together. If that statement isn't true, then why is it that you nor me are in his shoes, writing books ourselves??? Answer: Because we don't know squat compared to his experience and would never qualify as "experts" like he does. Just my humble opinion.

Don't get me wrong, I love my .44mag Winchester lever action carbine. I'd use it on black bear in a heart beat. But not on a charging bear, nor would I ever dare to use it on big African game like you mentioned. Im sure it could be done, but I don'have b@lls of steel to face one of those animals with a .44mag handgun. I'm not that good of a shot under pressure.
