On my first safari, in Zimbabwe, I took 16 trophy animals and 5 or 6 bait animals. Highlights were a 58 lb elephant, a big tom leopard, 2 buffalo that were both over 41", a 45" sable, 54" kudu and 31" waterbuck. That hunt was 24 of the very best days of my life, and still stands as the finest hunting trip I've ever enjoyed. We were not focused on inches, but things panned out very well and I came home with some splendid animals.
 
9 in 10 days of hunting however only 2 were trophys. The rest were culls.

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .
