Amended with Gun Stats... .600 does 9d+2 pi++ now.
.375 H&H does 8d+1 pi.
Popping the Rex in the vitals with the average damage roll of 33.5 points gets 31.5 to penetrate for 94.5 damage. A single consciousness roll from a HT 15 critter means you're going to have to keep shooting.
You need to do 106 to get a death roll out of one.
A second hit to the vitals gets you there.
The .375 rolls an average of 29 points, 27 penetrate for 81 points of damage.
Two, well placed, rounds of .375 H&H has enough medicine to take down the tyrant lizard.
SPOILER ALERT
I suspect the late Mr Holtzinger didn't hit the vitals even once. A hit to the body would only do 27 points of damage and three such shots are the same as a single vitals hit. A fourth would get to death rolls, but that HT 15 looms large if you're going for this big game at close range.
