with the 510 GNR and the 350 grain LBT. I know of 2 young elephant bulls taken with a 510 GNR and a max load of 4227 under the 350 LBT. The elephant, although young, were still probably 3 or 4 tons each and had broken out of Kruger Nat. Park. The park rangers came to their camp and asked if anyone wanted to shoot ne of these bulls as they were destroying the area villages and crops. Two of the hunters each took one of the bulls with the 510 GNR and a max load. One with one shot and the other with 2 shots. The 510 GNR killed them as dead as a 500 Linebaugh would have. So like Amede mentioned the 510 GNR, like the 480 Ruger may not be the absolute max round in a handgun but if you put the bullet in the right spot they work every time.

I think the 480 is very underrated.
