Some random pictures we took while in RSA

Fantastic Impala and great shot. I do believe it is dust though, or potentially condensation if the shot passed thru the lungs and it was a cold morning. Bullets (not sure on tracers) don't leave smoke trails thru tissue at distance (at short range you may get residual ignition from muzzle flash that causes burning on tissue/hair ).

Either way, great timing on the shot and a gorgeous animal.

It was a chilly morning and a lung shot so it could be condensation im not sure. It could be dust as well. Just not sure of where the dust would come from unless it was on the impala since this was right as the bullet struck.

When its dry dust gets kicked up very easily and settle on everything...that and Impala's like taking a rest in the cool shade and pick up the dust on their coat.;)
 
Great pics, thanks for sharing !

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .
