Is ALL 200+ yard shots on dangerous game bad and unethical or just with certain calibers and certain shooters? If a highly skilled marksman shoots a lion or brown bear at 200+ yards with a 50 BMG, 375 Cheytec or 416 Cheytac is that unethical and stupid?

Yes. Also, the 338 Lapua Improved is roughly around 150fps to 200fps faster than the regular 338 Lapua.

Thank you for that... For "Dangerous Game" hunting especially cape buffalo where shots are often within 50 yards wouldn't the 375 RUM be better?

What if you shot the elk using a 338 or 375 at 300 yards? What do you think the results would have been?

How does the 338 Lapua compare to the 375 RUM and 378 WBY at 500 yards and 1000 yards with velocity, energy and trajectory?

Have any of you hunted large North American brown bear, polar bear or moose with the 416 Rigby/Remington ? Is that cartridge over kill for those animals and is it just better to stick to the 375 and 338?

So, it's probably best to limit the 600NE for stopping a charge within 30 feet?

How is the recoil and penetration of the 460 WBY compared to the 458 Lott?

For a broadside shot on a cape buffalo would you prefer a 416 or a 600NE?

378 WBY? Has anyone ever built a custom rifle stock setup for the 378 WBY with a muzzle brake to tame the recoil?

I can't prove this but, it seems the big heavy slow bullets (470NE, 500NE, 600NE) really drop off after a certain distance and lose their stopping power maybe 40 yards tops where as a 378 WBY and 416 RUM could possibly easily kill a buffalo past 100+ yards? Isn't the whole purpose of the double...

In the video above, the 600NE stopped the bull charge, could that be due to this shot being much closer than Tim's shot? Is there a certain distance in yards where heavier slower moving bullets lose their effectiveness on large game sooner than others?

In the video Tim said he used solids. So, I guess if I ever have the opportunity to hunt buffalo in Africa to avoid using 600NE with solids on buffalo.

In the video below, Tim Sundles (owner of Buffalobore ammo) shot a Cape Buffalo 4 times with a 600 NE and it did not phase it. That's very concerning and also odd. I've seen videos where people have shot buff with 375, 416 and 458 and it knocks them down, they stumble, take off running and...

For 375 RUM, are the cup points and woodleigh hydro's a good round for buffalo? My concern is over penetration and wounding another buffalo... How do the cup points and woodleigh hydro's compare to CEB Safari Raptors, Hammer Hunters and Lehigh Defense mono-metals that shed petals or a barnes...
