Re: Is a 6.5x54mm adequate for Water Buffalo?

In reply to:

Now I wonder what these photographs prove?


Well they must prove something because you saw fit to post them on another thread on your Boards....

They prove that a couple of good sized buff were taken. But all your posts on this subject have failed to answer at least two of my questions.
And I repost in hope of an answer either by you or Orion.

"We have had the promise of photos and story for some time now. Nothing has been forthcoming.

Q1. Photo of the Buff please?

Q2. How many shots did it take? And where was it hit?

Q3. Was the PH happy with the final outcome?

Q4. Would the hunter use this calibre again, and would he recommend it to other hunters?"

OK we have the photos.

It was a 4 shot kill. Anything else is conjecture. Two in the chest, plus two in the arse = 4 shots by my way of counting. 4 shots in a Buff is not outrageous. But lets call a spade a spade. It was a 4 shot kill. Not 2.

Q3 and 4 have remained unanswered. And I will add a Q5.

Why did the hunter choose this particular rifle and Calibre as being Buff capable? Was it because he believed the 6.5x54 was the best he had available? Or because it was the best going? Or was there another reason?
