Double rifles and Elephant
Am sort of conflicted here, have a beautiful Holland Royal 500-450 Nitro with 26" barrels that swings like a bird gun, have also worked up a beautifully regulating load with 450gr Northfork flat nosed solids at 2210 fps over H-4831, the rifle is a spitting image of TR's rifle he used on the Smithsonian year long Safari, it's also just a couple serial numbers off his rifle.
The other choice is a mighty V\C boxlock 577 Nitro, also with 26" barrels, it's load with the 750gr Barnes banded flat...

Or do you take what’s considered a more typical modern hunting shotgun? Like a benelli or Winchester and the like.
