Mr. Hi Ball,
I was not getting at what you would carry so much, as to what action type you would choose and what makes a 'Stopping' cartridge.
You sort of answered it.
I guess you would chose a Bolt gun, not sure which cartridge.
Is rifle weight, not being able to reload after 2 shots fast enough for your piece of mind and the cost, the basis for your choice ?
What would you choose for a cartridge ?
Where do 'Stopping' cartridges start ? (not speaking of what will kill the animal, Bell shot Elephants with a 7mm Mauser, does not make it a stopper).
Where do they start, what is enough, what is a bit better etc.
More than raw power come into the formula, I think.
Like to hear your thoughts.
I will post my choices in a few days.
Perhaps the cartridge question should be a seperate topic. I will make a new post, if the interest is there, or someone else might do the same.
By the way, I have a nice Westley Richards Double, and I am so far from wealthy, I cannot even see the 'W' ! LOL
Best,
Phil
