I plan to shoot a buffalo with it Phil but other than that it will be an "all around gun" used here in Spain on wild boar, maybe in Australia on a water buff. I am not a big individual, 155lbs ish, I tried a .470 Nitro and while it isn't uncomfortable it span me around about 45 degrees. No way could I get off a quick second shot with one and the 11.5lbs weight is a lot to lug around all day. I chose flanged because I have yet to read of any experienced hunter who had not had problems with belted ammo in double rifles, rgds, Mike
