.600 Nitro Express - Another video

[deewayne2003]

First of all lets not interpret this post as an insult to the .600 owners out there.

While looking through youtube I came across this video from Buffalo Bore and was surprised they would post this video given the results shown.

Has anyone got a video of a .600 being used on a hunt where it showed a dramatic affect on the animal?

Almost looked like the buffalo was getting shot with a pellet gun... There was zero reaction. Until he tipped over. Wild.

The video showed the following:
1. Range looked a little long for an iron sighted .600 NE double rifle. I would have low crawled 20 or more yards closer.
2. Shooting a large double rifle with significant recoil (or extra heavy rifle...) offhand rather than using a set of sticks to steady the rifle. Recoil is not condusive to accuracy. Sticks are your friend!
3. Shot #3 was a miss.
4. Shots #2 and 4 were too far back on the buffalo. Also #2 was high and near the top rear tip of the lung shown in the picture below. Shot #4 would have hit low and behind the lungs.

Shot placement, shot placement, shot placement is most important even with extra big and powerful rifles and cartridges.

Interesting video. I’m surprised at lack of reaction to bullets. He says 3 softs and 2 solids. I originally assumed all solids. I can’t say I like these videos though. One well placed shot with a scoped 375 from sticks would have made a better hunt.

I think I will stick to my scoped .470..
