A friend had .375 H&H to hunt Africa. His first trip, they get to camp and PH has him shoot to check sights from the trip.
He shoots, all is good. Notices the PH has .460 Wthby in the rack. He asked if he could take a shot?
PH says, "Nope"
He is a bit put off, "I paid a lot of money to come here and you won't let me try out your rifle?"
PH laughs, "yes, sir. The rounds are $8 a piece and it is 80 miles to town. You shoot the mule kicking thing and you will never touch it again, plus have a flinch for life. When in the bush, a rhino charges, you will grab it and shoot like it is a .22LR."
