mono vs lead for Cape Buffalo?

I have read again several articles about the topic buffaloes in Africa, in French and English. It is not uncommon that West African buffaloes are confused with forest buffaloes. I shot one or two West African buffalo every year for fifteen years and for this reason I am very familiar with the species, in all cases the ones that has drawn its tracks in the corner of Niger, Burkina Faso and Benin. Many reports can seem very confusing to a hunter unfamiliar with the subject.

What are the specific differences between the Cutting Edge Raptor vs the Maximus? Is the Maximus similar to the Hammer's and Lehigh Defense?

Have any of you done any comparisons between the Raptor vs Maximus in penetration and expansion? Because, I was thinking if the Raptor's penetrate too deeply and pass-through, the Maximus might be a good option.

A typical West-African Buffalo, maybe three quarters the size compared to a Cape buffalo, but no less.

You also have to take into account that there are possibly hybrids so that the size of the buffaloes can vary greatly depending on the region. Anyone who knows more and has shot more in other regions is welcome to argue with me.
