There have been a few photos here that show a shot through the boss on Cape Buffalo.

Can most of the common bullets fired from common cartridges penetrate through the boss into the brain?
 
A solid maybe but not a soft, I shot a bull in the horn with a 535 grain Woodleigh soft out of my 500 Jeffery and it didn't fully penetrate.

I have a Chapuis 450-400 double that looks brand new and shoots well, never been hunted from what I can tell. I am willing to part with it as I have a 375 H&H Sodia on it's way from Dorleac & Dorleac. I am looking for $9,250 for it and if you are interested, I am happy to send you some pictures. Regards,
Steve
