PH Norman Crooks in Zimbabwe was gored but is alive...

I understand it was around Beitbridge in Zim. Buff is dead and Norman is in hospital in Harare...stable but gored in the chest and leg. I have photos but wouldn't post without permission. Prayers for a fast recovery.
Prayers for a speedy recovery. He is one of the good guys.
 
I was able to listen to Norm's audio recording he sent out to update everyone. Client took a frontal shot on buff (didn't say what caliber)...looked very good...Norm thought they would find it dead...followed good blood trail about 1km but it charged them through mopane offering no shot...went for client but turned into Norm who got 1 shot at last second with his 458 Lott...gored him 3x and miraculously the buff backed off after being face to face with Norm about 12 inches apart...client and tracker came around and client killed it with a head shot. Norm's lung is punctured along with other injuries but he says he will make a full recovery.

Hi Jon,
I saw your post for the .500 NE cases. Are these all brass or are they nickel plated? Hard for me to tell... sorry.
Thanks,
