My #1 Contender cartridge for big game is the 358JDJ. Deadly to 200+ yards. I have used it for many Whitetails, pronghorn and an African safari. Kudu full penetration on the shoulder at 190 yards. Check out my older posts. You can rechamber a stock 35 Rem contender barrel or buy a custom barrel. The 375 JDJ would be a great choice too.
