I realize that on any buff or ele hunt one carries much more than he shoots and perhaps in quite warm weather too. Not intending to throw stones at the Win, My rational for the Lott, a case only about .3" longer than the Win, was to boot a 450-500-grainer at 2150-2200fps which is what the Win can do at full throttle, but do it easily and at lower pressures. As you know of the bucket load of English, big bore Epress or Nitro loads, very few deviate much from this weight bullet and velocity range. It is a proven formula over the history of recent DG hunting in Africa.
That you can shoot the Win is an added, not insignificant bonus, not to mention the flexibility (as the Win has) in handloading.
That's all.
