Have you priced a box of 20 cartridges for the .416 Rigby or .458 Lott lately? Some of the new premium bullets are running a whopping $160-$180 per box! Aside from that, recoil is a consideration. Try getting off two shots on a charging animal with a heavy recoil rifle. If I could afford a double rifle, I'd buy one, but I still would go over board on caliber. That being said, a .375 will kill any DG living if your shot placement is good. This past summer I used the .223 and .280 on plains game. No problems. Believe me, I'm not asking for trouble in any shape, fashion or form. But I'm not one to get pulled into the "super magnum" genre because I'm afraid my shots will all be bad. I'll strive for well placed shots; listen to my PH, and have confidence in my shooting and the bullet. I keep an open mind however, any advice is appreciated. Good hunting, grayghost
