Green. Blaser S2 500/416NE with 400 grain CEB Safari Raptors.

Tough shot with him moving around and trying to hit a brain the size of a grapefruit.

I mostly use a .375 Holland & Holland Magnum, loaded with 300Gr solids. But I’ve also shot one with a .404 Jeffery and one with a .600 Nitro Express.

In recent years, I’ve taken to replacing the solids with Barnes TSX monolithic all-copper hollow points. So far, they’re serving me well. I still load two solids into the bottom of the magazine for the last two shots (sort of as an insurance) but in the near future, I just might end up loading the entire magazine with Barnes TSX.
