I wouldn't want either of the rifles with an X bullet.
<br>
<br>The .375 with a 300 grain Barnes or Woodleigh Soft. .458 better still. At that point you may need something to knock it back on it's butt and the bigger the bullet the better chance.
<br>
<br>While the X bullet seems to be the popular choice hear in Africa the jury is still out on them because of a tendency to act like a solid at times and not open up. A small hole clear through a large animal is just that. A small hole.
<br>
<br>In the latest Rifle Shooter Mag (got it today) Boddington posts factory ballistics of the RUM and the .340 250 grain NP and the Weatherby is about 100fps faster. Handloading would change that but if you have to buy a box, then which one would you want?
