    The Gaur Which Ended A Shikar Career

    VERY sad but compelling story.. very well told! Thanks for sharing. Your report on the 458 is outstanding. I truly admire my 458 Win Mag, but obviously in modern day, we get to use the best ammo available. I have had NO regrets/ issues with many buff and 3x ellies hunted with my 458.

    Is The .375 H&H Strong Enough

    375 H&H Magnum.. Yes, it is enough gun. With the use of the BEST PREMIUM bullets, even better!! I have shot many buffalo, but only one ellie, with my 375's..when I decided to do more elephant hunting I upgraded to a 458 Win Mag again with PREMIUM ammo and have had huge success. My son shot his...
