Better check with your guide. Mine wouldn't have been happy with a smaller bore.

And, I agree with pursuit, it does make a difference.

On a hunt, you don't have the time and convenience of a culling operation. You're going after a target within a certain time frame.

I'd still take my .375 H&H, but I can shoot it about as well as my other rifles.

And the guide can't be squawking about my puny rifle when the bull runs, as many do no matter what they're hit with. Hit right, they don't generally go that far.

And, I agree with bullet selection. To me, the 250 TTSX is a good choice, plenty of penetration, pretty good at longer ranges and tough. It should get their attention, good "wallop factor"...
