One question, are we hunting hippo or just get caught between the hippo and where he wants to be? So we might get caught with a pea shooter.
 
Red, or I am waiting for him to drop his head. 20 yards is still fairly far out for a charge. I am guessing red breaks the neck/spine. Either way I think it is enough damage to slow him up quite a bit.

Green if hit as he is now would work, but that head is going to swing, at 20 yards seems like a more likely miss or not fatal hit.
 
Green first shot. Second just keep shooting since I carry an R8 I will be able to get 4+1 in him on the 20 yd charge. I won’t be trampled with bullets still in the gun. (Just kidding) nothing more scary then being on a hippo trail in the reeds at first or last light.
