Roosevelt's African safari is an education of how completely dead you can make big African critters with primitive weapons like a Springfield and a .405 lever gun.
I'm not endorsing using light rounds, I'm endorsing selection of rounds that are appropriate. Using a .460 weatherby or .600 ne on kudzu, buffalo, or other massive game is fine, but it's not necessary. There is a big difference between choosing to use a substandard round like .243 on a great big zebra, and using the round in question, rather than a .375.
African game, for the big animals, I might use a bigger round, myself, but with backup, there's no reason to use a monster gun if you don't want to.
Jack o Connor killed everything in the world with a .270, it works, but it isn't ideal. He also had backup.
I don't know but the solid copper X bullet would maybe be a good idea. It would flatten the trajectory, track through like a laser, leave a good hole, and not stop for anything.
This round is entirely different from the traditional shooting philosophy of 3,000 and up with moderate weight expanding bullets, and much closer to the the old school BP rounds.
