There are thousands of elephant cartridges out there from bore diameters ranging from .366 all the way to 1.2 inch bores. The most popular is the 375 H&H, but I have seen elephants soak up 10 or more rounds of 375 weatherby so here is a very, VERY short list of the most famous elephant cartridges of all time...

375 H&H Magnum Nitro Express

416 Rigby Nitro Express

450 Nitro Express

470 Nitro Express

505 Gibbs Nitro Express

577 Nitro Express

600 Nitro Express

and last but not least the mighty

4 Bore blackpowder

I would recommend the 416 rigby as an absolute minimum
