Those such as ?Karamojo? Bell and Captain Stigand shot African elephants, on a professional basis, using the 6.5 x 54 Mannlicher-Schoenauer, others used the 7mm Mauser, yet others the 0�600" Nitro Express, one uses the tool that does the job, always dependent of course on the skill, experience and confidence of the person using the tool. Some have used bows and arrows to shoot both big bears and African elephants. -- Two Ravens "...hit the squirrel..."

I was under the impression that it was quite available (with appropriate licensing). I'm certainly not an expert on the matter, and I appreciate the correction. So, I rephrase my earlier statement: I don't know why anyone would go hunting or target shooting with a _semi-automatic_ rifle or handgun ... -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sylvain Robitaille syl(a)alcor.concordia.ca Systems and Network analyst Concordia University Instructional & Information Technology Montreal, Quebec, Canada ----------------------------------------------------------------------

The .600 Nitro is an elephant gun. What on earth are you talking about? cordially, as always, rm |
