Thought Provoking Question: How Many Of You Would Use A Smaller Calibre If It Were Legal?

I'd probably use a lighter than .375 H&H for some dangerous game hunting if I happened to live in good African hunting country with plenty of opportunities. A .338 Win or 9.3x62 would seem like a good alternative for a resident hunter with plenty of time to hunt and who can wait to choose a proper shot opportunity.
While hunting with a costly outfitted long distance foreign hunt in a once in a lifetime situation? The cost and inconvenience of using and training with a specially dedicated big bore rifle is minor compared to the overall trip planning and cost. Just suck it up and buy the correct firearm for the job, or rent one.
