Good stuff Karl!

Although, I am surprised by his bullet choice.
 
Love the writers style and very much enjoyed the story.
 
thanks for sharing! fantastic experience!
 
What an inspiring story!
One of these day...

Ps. Wish more national parks in South Africa would allow culling of excess animals, especially elephant.

A lot of parks do auction off trophy and cull hunting packages but not elephant

Shouldn't be. No need for solids in a .500 on buff. Maximum damage with similar penetration. Unless you are thinking VC still were regulated with Norma ammo.

No, I was referring to the DGX. I’m guessing that the hunter was using the new ones. The old ones had so many issues of breaking up.

The Normas or something else wouldn’t have surprised me, but it looks like it did the job well enough.

Great story, thanks for sharing. And congratulations to you and Karl and staff on your old buffalo, a true trophy.(y)
 
Thanks for sharing and congratulations to all involved! Can’t wait for the next instalment:)
 
Hi Desperatezulu

I was referring to the weight of the whole animal.

It’s neck was huge though

Regards
Hi Ronald - all good! I was being a smart arse. :giggle: And perhaps there was a comma there that I missed.
I thought maybe the neck weighed 90kg which would still be a big chunk.

Thanks for sharing the story!

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
