My current two bits===

Since I had a well used .308 and .338, I skipped on up to a .405 and .458. Both have performed well in the USA and Africa.
I loaned my Winchester 1886 .45-90 (.458) to a friend for his African outing and he took ele, multiple Cape Buff, and leopard with it -- All one shot kills.
My ,405 did well on its only trip to Africa also, with a one shot kill on a Cape buff.

My conclusion is that with an appropriate weapon and ammo, the competent hunter can take any critter. It then becomes a matter of personal choice.
