My favorite is a 404 Ruger re-bored from 375 in an early Hawkeye African. Light enough and handy either in the factory wood or a Borden synthetic stock.

If the game is large enough then a 500 3" NE Krieghoff DR gets the nod. A stopper with 570 grain CEB Solids and a good dose of H-4350.


Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty of give me death! P. Henry
