im toying with the thought of a black powder gun for Afrika. Id like for it to be suitable for Dangerous Game as well as Plains Game. I'd love to do a 4bore but I'm wondering if a 8bore or even 75cal isn't enough. It'll be a single shot and I have no problem with a PH backing me up with a modern gun. A 4bore is really calling me though. I'd like to use it on Hippo and maybe Buff but also Wildebeest and maybe Kudo. I'd love Elephant too but I'm not sure that will ever happen.
I know the smaller guns have all been successfully used but I'm kinda keen on wanting something big. The price range between 4 and 8 bore builds isn't that much different but both are way more than a 72 or 75 caliber gun. So once I jump to 8, 4 seems almost reasonable....
I hear that getting powder is or can be an issue.
