The Distance to Sight in For Cape Buffalo?

[Foxi]

This is a good point. I urge people to test their DG calibres at these varying ranges. I cannot tell you how many times I have had buff under 25 yards for the first shot...

yes, but then he gets suspicious about something, crosses the dry riverbed and secures over to you at 70 m in the black burnt miombo. Black body in the black bush. With open sights of a double rifle..........hm

I zeroed my .375 Weatherby at 80 yards because that's how long my range is. Would have used 100 if I could get it. Need to clear some trees...

50 yards. I shoot with iron sights.

I sighted dead at 50 and know where you are at 100. I shoot a 375 Ruger with 270 gr.

I have my 404Jeffery sighted in dead in at 50 yards and I’m about an inch low at 100 yards. This is with 400 grain projectiles at 2150ft/sec MV.

On my 375 H&H and 416 Rem I am dead on at 100 yards with 300 grain and 400 grain projectiles. These are moving faster so that is why the difference in sighting options. I really don’t want to shoot a buffalo past 100 yards anyway. If we can’t get closer than that then it’s ok for the buffalo to win sometimes too.
