your question of the day

A few weeks back I mentioned that now that I had my Cape Buffalo the only thing left on my bucket list was an elephant. Since then I have had several people ask me what cartridge I would use on an elephant. Well, first off it would have to be one of our GNR cartridges. I wouldn't feel right doing it with another cartridge. So, my question to you, and this is a serious question, what GNR cartridge and bullet would you go with if you had a chance at elephant with a handgun?
