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. Doctor sights.
