I did read it, I've been aware since my pre teen years that it's a compilation of correct bullet construction, in the correct diameter, at the correct velocity. Whatever the particular named cartridge is.
And I'm well aware that on the one in a 3 or 8 million chance I use the rifle to defend the homestead, the kids, and the close by neighbors (who all have young children who play outside)there will be no "professional hunter group" armed with multiple fine old 470 double guns to back poor old me up. At best my Lovely Bride with a 12 ga 580 loaded with (8)Brenneke Black magic's.
That's got me looking at .411 and .375 Hawk based on capacity. Formed on the grand old 30-06 case and sending a 260 gr, Nosler Partition at 2600 fps (in .375). 200 fps slower than the great old H&H. But standard mag capacity and with the (aparantly) reliable Wyatt's conversion to detachable box magazines, 10 rounds in the mag.
The tigers are in enclosures of from 3 to 10 each. So a failure of the chain link could concievably mean more than one large feline out. More than a standard 3 round capacity .375 Ruger would be mo better in my humble opinion.
My opinion is subject to change tho : )
