Bryan, thank you for posting the video for me. I’m to the right of the camera in the video, my dad has the go pro mounted on his hat, he’s shooting a .375 double, you can see he fires shortly after my first shot, he fires a second time but shoots low, happily all three of my shots landed well. Thanks for all the support.

I love that you ran a lever gun.
Beautiful buffalo. Congrats!

I know a couple bear hunters that are very keen on their levers.

My dad always loved the 45 colt and 45-70 in his lever guns.

Congratulations! Great bull. And taken with the venerable .405. Teddy Roosevelt would be proud!

 

[Pablo]

Helluva bull! Congrats!

Paul, Well done ! That is a fine bull.
I am a a real CEB fan. Their bullets bring the best out in any cartridge.
Your load with the 405 is on the high side of the 450-400NE for buffalo killing power and you can shoot it in that wonderful lever action. Good choice. Thanks for the report and photo. Brian

Congrats Paul, Great to see the Winchester 95 hunting Africa

I would sure like to see your video of the kill. It sounds like you made a couple of quick follow shots with your model 95 ! ( The Rifle Man! )
He only went 25 yds. It sounds like you maybe hit him very well with your first shot, however it is always good to "pour the lead into him" and you can do it with that rifle.

The only way that I have done a video is post it on Youtube then post the link on this forum for us to go to youtube to watch it. I will be getting the popcorn ready!

As I say I would be very interested in seeing it. I am curious how your CEB bullets worked.

Thanks again, Brian
