Or trying to figure out how to get Simba Sea salt and vinegar potato chips in the United States!
Or buying another rifle for Cape Buffalo hunting when you already own six of them!
I can Assure you it's a A-frame! Like I said, I will continue to use the Swift A-frame. I don't consider this a bullet failure at all, But just an example of anything can happen when shooting at live game!
Scale is on, double checked with my RCBS scale. The bullet lost a good deal of it's front core. Like I said I will use Swift A-frame bullets again, I can't judge a bullets performance by one sample.
100% positive it was a 400 grain as I've never purchased the 350 grain version! These bullets were purchased directly from Swift specifically for my Buffalo hunt!
416 400 grain Swift A-frame recovered from a Sable, I was expecting better results. Will I use Swift bullets again, absolutely! One 400 grain A-frame killed my Cape Buffalo and the bullet exited.
Here is a picture of my Chapuis 470 Nitro and my 2024 Cape Buffalo. Although I didn't kill the Buffalo with the double, I did use it for the fallow up and gave the bull a insurance shot with it. I also used it to finish off my Sable with a racking shot from the right ham through the left...
I can highly recommend Tsala Safaris and PH Brandon Van Zyl! They far exceeded expectations, I'm hoping to go back to africa in a few years and I will definitely be going back with them! Here are a few pictures of the buffalo I harvested hunting with Tsala Safaris (6-9-24)
I understand what you mean. I just returned from my first safari yesterday. I was fortunate enough to complete a lifelong dream of taking a cape buffalo! I hunted with Tsala Safaris, and PH Brandon Van Zyl. I think the one thing that I learned from the trip was Buffalo hunting is addictive! I'm...
I will post my report when we get home! We are on day 4 of our Safari and have more hunting to do! Tsala Safaris are just great and PH Brandon van Zyl is just the best! I just can't say enough good things about them!
