I got a model 1899 Savage in 22 Hi Power that was bad Tiger Medicine about 100 years ago. I got a photo of a guy standing next to a dead Tiger that he killed with a 70 grain .228 bullet at 2800'/sec. If it worked then it should work again.
I think that was missionary Harry Caldwell. Savage used to use that picture in their ads. Roy Chapman Andrews, another 99 user, met him in southeastern China. Roy's rifle was chambered for the .250-3000 and he used it all over Mongolia to collect specimens for the Museum of Natural History in New York. Jack O'Connor wrote a few paragraphs about this a long time ago.
Frankly, that would scare the heck outa me, trying to shoot a tiger with such small pills. Especially if he was around the ten yard line.
I read through this thread and, just out of curiosity(as I have no experience with DG)...Wouldn't a CZ-550 in 9.3x62 with 5 in the box be about ideal...285 gr Nosler Partitions...
Certainly wouldn't be a bad choice. Other than the fact OP was asking bout 458 Win's & 375's, which would be better?
