On a related note, I just used a 400 H&H shooting 400 gr North Fork bullets at 2400 fps on a Cape buffalo. The bull died very quickly. No bullets recovered as most went right through. One that was shot into the chest area was lost but it probably went into the rumen. My take away is that this...

For some reason, attaching pictures is a hit and miss experience. I will post more when I get a reliable connection.

Thank you. Buffalo hunting is now my favourite hunt! It’s a real experience. Good luck!

Thank you I understand that the conditions were very unusual. I think a lot of the grasses and density will have died back by then, from what I have been told. But it’s a great area to experience. Good luck!

Thank you!

Thank you!

I think that’s a good velocity for buffalo hunting. I need to work on that

rumination I load for accuracy, not speed. It just worked out that the best accuracy is also a very fast velocity for the 400 H&H. I think I want to slow down this cartridge. I don’t really want my bullets going through a buffalo and injuring another in the bush. The bullets themselves...

Absolutely! Thanks for reading it!

I don’t know why that screenshot loaded but I can’t get photos up :mad: I will keep trying, sorry about that.

I certainly will. I have not been there before either, and that was one reason I agreed. I think if this was my second or third Buffalo, I may have stayed in Limpopo just to see the challenge through. But, this way we change the terrain and the chances. @KMG Hunting Safaris is such an excellent...

Now for the flight. It’s not a hunting trip for yours truly unless he finds himself sprinting through the airport, desperately holding up my pants as I carry belt, wallet, and sundry other items to make the plane after last call On the flight to PE you can check your bags through from...

Thanks everyone! Our plan was to catch a flight to PE. You leave Hoedspruit and connect in Cape Town to PE. But, we still have the morning! We left camp at 6am with a plan to hunt until 10 The night had been cool and the Buffalo were up and wondering all over the place. The tracker had to...
