Best overall lion rifle

This is way too much overkill. Never go more powerful than a 5.5 mm airgun on lioness.

Is a 9.3X62 with 286 grains good on lions?

@SStomcat
At on stage the 359 Rigby magnum was considered good for lion so me thinks the 35 Whelen would be the ducks guts with the right bullet
Teddy Roosevelt said his 405 was his lion medicine.

I would avoid the 280 Ross.

Shooting for the balls, are we?

Headed back to Africa in 2015 and was wondering what might be the best overall lion rifle?
Shoot cape buffalo in June 2013 with Thwane Safaris with a 375 Jarrett.

.375 is good
