Curious how many of you have used your dangerous game cartridges on big game at home, outside of Africa? Whether you live in the America's, Europe, Australia etc., what local game have you taken with your dangerous game rifles and cartridge's? How did it go? Which dangerous game cartridge would you consider to be an ideal choice for your domestic big game animals?
I've been taking both my 375 H&H and 458 WinMag Moose and Black Bear hunting (unsuccessful so far) and I know of others in North America that use their 375s, 416's and downloaded 458's on white tail, elk, moose, grizzly, bison etc. The 375's and 416's sound like they are a fairly common choice for hunting in Alaska/Yukon, enough oomph for brown bear, enough range for reaching out on caribou and elk.
