Very low velocity, I am surprised. 540gr. at 1,350fps.





I am going to be cynical and say ...

Yep surprising low velocity.

Why would one need a scope to shoot with that load? Must be rainbow trajectory.




I know you are kidding around, but I would have no problem hunting a cape buffalo with a 45/70.. and don't feel the loads above are necessary...

It all depends on the scenario when hunting and how amped up there are before the shot..at least that has been my experience..get in on them with them really knowing you are there before the shot vs chasing them on foot for 2-3 hours and then finally getting a shot into one.. at that point, keep shooting and keep reloading..
