.......................................................................................WANNA BET???!!!...... The .375 Ruger will do just fine loaded with some 300 grainers in the FMJ`s! Besides, there is no better one rifle caliber for all around African use and for the largest of N/A big game than a .375!..........Those hunters who got nailed, obviously didn`t have sufficient backup and/or didn`t properly place the shots??.............A 470 Nitro??.Loco...........No thanks!

C'on Squeeze.....Don't be a Brownie and get the .470 Capstick!  Look at it this way, it's just a blown out .375 H&H anyway.  After you get through reading Hemmingway and Capstick you might chicken out and not want to go over there!  Ed and I are counting on you though, since you're younger compared to us, and somebody needs to stand up for more mature people.

......................................Nice try there,,,,Mojo!!..... You guys are trying to get me into a 470 Nitro, like I`m trying to get Pyro into a .375 RUM! Neither of us will have any luck in that dept.........I won`t be reading Hemmingway, nor do I plan to chicken out! Na%20Na

Better check out your ballistics Big Squeeze....that .470 Capstick has got that the numbers on the Nitro!  Don't worry about pyro and the Ultra Mag.  He's a black belt and will kick the daylights out of that Ultra Mag, before the Ultra Mag kicks the daylights out of him!  Ed is already in bed, and who knows what he will say in the morning!  Pick a scope that will handle 6.400 foot pounds of muzzle energy.

No... No pyro...not the Ultra Mag...the Capstick!  500 grain solids!  That's child's play compared to the 550 Magnum with the 700 grainer though!  Pain hurts.  They don't make recoil pads big enough for me.

.....................................Don`t need to check any ballistics, on a Capstick or on a Nitro! Totally useless and overpowered for anything in N/A and for the most part, in Africa too! Good for elephants which I have no desire to hunt!...... 6400 fp. of muzzle energy?.............Ridiculous for any need that I would ever have!...YOU BUY ONE!!!

What?  I thought that the 700 Nitro was only around 8,900 foot pounds.  I know that Holland and Holland will make a nice double rifle for the Big Squeeze.  We can install a Barska 4 power air gun scope on each barrel!  Whadaya think might happen ?

...........................................That`s recoil that even the Squeezer couldn`t handle!.........That`s not shooting for enjoyment. That`s pure punishment!!.........Get out the lead sleds!!!........Those cartridges & rifles are patheticly overpowered and serve no purpose other than to make a good display in a case and/or a good conversation piece..............LocoLocoLocoLocoLocoLoco

That's enough in one night for me......I'm headed for bed, hoping nobody drops a 7 ton weight on me.  pyro, those numbers were obscene.  Scopes are only good for one shot, and you get a detached retina with two.
