For some inexplicable reason I have the same preference for straight walled cases. Which is why I went for a .500NE

@Northern Shooter So first things first, this idea that you will buy “one last one” is ridiculous. This is an addiction. There will be more of them. It never stops. Now that is out of the way, the biggest caliber you currently own is in the 45’s. So I would suggest .470NE (just because of...

This is not optional, you must use a solid. I’m guessing any standup ph whom you ask to use softs, of any form, on elephant, will cancel your safari immediately.

At least there seems to be a happy end to this story and everyone involved can get back home and embrace their beloved ones. Speedy recovery and lots of strength for the rehabilitation process.

If you are intending to take only one rifle. And Dangerous Game is potentially on the menu, then your past decision making was correct. A .375H&H bolt action (or accurate double rifle, why not) scoped, is probably your best bet. It also means that you have simplified your weapon choices so...
