Is Bigger Always Better?

Choose a 375 that weighs ten pounds loaded and forget the brake. Whoever convinced you to buy 416 Weatherby is not your friend. Hard guns to find, very expensive to buy, brutal to shoot, and almost impossible to get your hands on the ammo. I wouldn't accept one as a gift. But hey, they sure are pretty.

I agree with that statement. There are a lot of calibers I would choose, before picking up a 416 Weatherby.

This was a great read and a lot of good comments. I’m a big fan of the old saying, “There is no replacement for displacement.” However, a 375 can certainly get the job done across the globe. There have been a lot of AH posts and comments confirming that statement.

Great writeup on is bigger always better....at the end of the day it would seem "better first shot is always better."

Every time a thread on caliber for Buffalo comes up, one should refer to this article. It appears somewhat true that what several PHs have told me, the bigger the gun the client shows up with the more the follow up LOL
