It’s over 40 cal, has impact velocities over 1900 fps with 400g bullets. There is no controversy.

I feel the advice was on point. I have never been on a safari but have tried to educate myself on such an endeavor. I own 3 safari rifles as a hobbyist. The First was a .577 Greener BPE I had Superior load develop. It was in my local shop and I had to have it. Second was a Ken Owen build...
