I have a couple of 404s that handle well and that I've carried quite a bit. I'd choose one of these - probably the one with a synthetic stock given the tropical condition - and use 400 grain Swift A-frames.
I acknowledge MD's experience and advice, but I've used that bullet at a bit over 2400 fps on a couple of tough African animals and have had very deep penetration from frontal and angling shots.
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
