Re: Poor shooting Weatherby, what to do?

What kind of showboating door knob would shoot a Cape buffalo with a BB gun? Yup, the master showman, Roy W. himself!!!! I love the .257 bee, but I reserve it for skinny runt whitetails and caribou where it is much better suited. My one and only cape buff was perforated with 7, count 'em 7!!! .570 grain .500NE flat point solids before he quit. I'm not surprised to hear about the .470 perforations in the esteemed Mr Weatherby's famous .257 buff..... That makes sense.

BTW: no disrespect intended for Roy. He was a master salesman and a gifted businessman. I just don't buy into the high velocity hydrostatic shock theories he loved to espouse. Like in hot rod muscle cars, the only thing that beats cubic inches, is more cubic inches!!
