Here is a photo of my 2004 Washington Shiras Moose taken with my 6 inch octagon barreled .475 Linebaugh. I used a 400 grain Hornaday XTP. I grunted him in. The shot was 29 yards, quartering toward me. Complete penetration and excellent bullet expansion. The moose scored 140 6/8 B&C and 48” spread.
Thanks for the fine firearms! I have three.

I have just returned from Zimbabwe where I shot a buffalo-bull with my .454.
I stalked two buffaloes (daga-bulls) - and shot the one at 35 m.
The bullet - 378 gr. hard cast/1350 fps. hit his left shoulder. Then he took off - and got another bullet about 10-15 cm from the first one. The third shot was a miss - or into a tree (very bushy area). Before he disappered at 50 m - I only had his left back leg to shoot at - and the fourth bullet hit. Not long after that shot - I could hear his death-roaring.
Went up to him from behind - and shot him in the spine - just to be sure that I could write about this.
He ran 62 m - before he fell down. Docter sights. Sverre Meisingseth - (Norway)

A double on Blue Wildebeest in South Africa. One was shot at 45 meters into the chest - but I could not find the bullet. The other was shot at 100 m - and the bullet hit the left shoulder and penetrated 100%. The bullet was 325 gr. hard cast/1450 fps. Mod. 83 scoped with a 2x Leupold.

Lynn C. Thompson took this huge bull hippo with a single shot between the eyes at 25 meters using Corbon's 454 caliber 320 grain Penetrators.
This hippo was in the water and recovery of the trophy was very hazardous, as the river was full of big crocs. Tusk size submitted to SCI with it being
the potential new #3 hippo taken with a handgun. Note: Lynn only uses iron sights.

Howdy! Here's a photo of a critter for your
trophy page (hopefully!). Take a look and see if you think it's worthy.
I whacked it while hunting off the Tanana River, a few miles north of
where I live, in Alaska. Stuck a 300 gr.@ 1930 fps hardcast handload through
the boiler works. He went less than 20 feet. Love that pistol!!! Brian
